What if my PC won't boot?
All is not lost if you can't get your PC to boot up after installing your new RAM. Try these steps to resuscitate your computer:
- Shut down your PC, remove the plug, and open the case.
- Check your RAM modules to make certain they're properly seated.
- Check for other loose cables, boards, and so on. Reseat them if needed.
- Restore the power to your PC and try booting up again.
If your system still doesn't boot up properly, try this:
- Pull the plug, remove the new RAM, and then see if your computer boots. If you removed working RAM to install the new RAM, put the old RAM back in again.
- Did your PC boot with the previously working chips? If so, then return the new chips to the manufacturer for replacement. If not, you may need to take your PC to a repair shop for additional service.
