ok, Seee it says there you need at least 2gb, of ram, when i put over 768 mb, my pc will not turn on all it does is beeps ? could there be too much ram?
Tell us about your computer and its specs.
I see that you have an emachine. You have the minimum that can run Vista. You will not get good perormance. It is for email, surfing the net and not much more.
well ok, i am not at my emachine right now, bnut it is the very bare minimum you can get except it started with 512mb ram now its 768. if i put anymore it beeps. its original everything else. all i use it for is surfing and videos and such no games or anything. any reason it would beep because to much ram?
This is normal
Most computer have what is called a post beep. The number of beeps and the sequence (long or short) tell you what the problem is. In your case we know that it is memory.
There are only 3 reasons that you will have a post beep.
1) The additional ram is not correct. You cannot mix and match. You must buy all the ram at once.
2 Your computer cannot use the additional ram as you have an E Machine.
3 The ram is defective.
