A friend and I tried to add extra ram to his machine tonight. We tried different configurations with the 3 pc100 chips that we have, because it failed to recognise more than 32mb at the first attempt. After 3 reboots, the computer will now not load. Switch power on and the hard drive activates briefly and then stops.
Nothing is displayed on screen, and a soft reboot and the reset key have no effect.
There is a notch on one end of a simm to identify the correct way. Thanks for your replies. The modules were definitely placed in their slots the correct way. The original DIMM was replaced in it's original slot. Net is the opinions of its users.
