Answer: First off you DO NOT FORCE RAM INTO SLOTS.Like it was previously stated. You will not only damage the stick of ram but you can damage the motherboard. Try sticking the Sdram in the other slot for that memory. See if that works, if not, try the ddr in the other ddr slot. If that still don't work refer to the BIOS. If you go to the manufacturer of that motherboard they will have a BIOS update where you can flash the BIOS but be careful because if you use the wrong update you can damage the motherboard.\n\nI have talked with my brother who has 16 years experience in the field. Since i only have 1 ha ha. He asked when you say nothing is working, and beyond the beeps do you get anything on the monitor? Such as an option to make changes to the CMOS.
