los2188 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I have a Compaq Presario SR1830nx computer, and I am upgrading my ram to 4GB. I'm running Windows Vista (64 bit). Everything is fine except when I add my fourth and final (1GB) ram card, then my computer won't boot. It won't get passed the Compaq logo screen to windows. I am unable to get to BIOS or anything else at that screen. I've checked the compatibility, I've checked whether or not the ram cards are defective, and I even made sure all the slots worked. All is well, but I can't seem to add that fourth card. When it's working with the 3 cards (3GB), when I go to BIOS to adjust the speed, I am unable to because the option is greyed-out. According to HP's website, I can upgrade to 4GB, but for some reason, when I add the fourth card, it freezes. Any suggestions? -Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I have MYD-1GB400CS Corsair Value Select 1GB DDR PC3200 (400 MHz) Memory.That's not a Corsair part number. Are you looking at the memory chip, or the label? Can you take a pic? Should start with VS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 17, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 17, 2012 I am sorry but that is not uncommon, you may have to manually change some settings in the MB BIOS. I just saw that this is in an Compaq and as such I am sorry but we can only support one set of modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
