Ram Upgrade
I am trying to upgrade a HP pavillion a400y. Spec says it can take
PC2700 up to 2GB with max of 1GB per slot. Right now i have 256MB installed PC2700 DDR. When i look in the bios it says installed memory 256MB/PC2100, mem bank 1 n/a mem bank 2 250MB/DDR When i add the 1GB DDR PC2700 the memory actually goes down. installed memory 32MB/PC2100 mem bank 1 N/A mem bank 2 32MB/ddr. The computer must see something, but it not recognizing it right. I upgraded the bios to the latest on the HP site. |

Might be bad RAM. i always recommend Crucial memory for Compaqs and HPs. Try
he http://www.crucial.com/store/listpar...vilion%20a400y You also might try reseating the RAM you have. Did you try with just the 1GB DIMM in Slot 1? HH wrote in message ups.com...

HH If that works - check the manual online - you MAY need to use same size mem stick in each slot. ( In which case REMOVE the original and leave the 1gb for now.) |

Hi!
When i add the 1GB DDR PC2700 the memory actually goes down. installed memory 32MB/PC2100 mem bank 1 N/A mem bank 2 32MB/ddr. Why are you putting the memory in bank 2? Is bank 1 broken/unusable? It's a long shot, but some systems are picky about the order in which memory is inserted and will behave strangely or not work at all if you don't have it right. William |
