Increased RAM not being recognised

[garry21]

I reserected an old PC as my current machine crashed and burned. so I could get some info from my Hard Drive.

I was having an issue with my PC loading and getting an NTLDR error.  Having read the through the forums I purchased some new RAM, to see if this would solve the problem, which to my relief it did.

But the system will not recognise the new RAM fully and thinks it is still running on the old RAM.

Please don't laugh to much but the old PC was running on 64mb (two 32MB SDRAM)

The new RAM I purchase was 128MB, to see if I could kick start my PC.

How do I get the PC through the BIOS/CMOS to recognise this increase RAM?


My motherboard is an old AMD KM6 (TM)

hey this is probably useless but check the pdf for your mobo. some have memory limits, for example, my old one can only have something like 384 mb ram.

Not all RAM is compatible, especially with older systems - double sided vs. single sided, inticacies of the motherboard etc. Just because it fits the slot is NOT enough.

Post you motherboard or computer make/model and specifics about what you got, but I suspect it is just incompatible RAM.
