Poor performance...i scanned it with crucial scan and just shopped around for the cheapest memory. when the computer beeps after installing new ram what are possible causes because i try putting in the original memory and i continues to beep and act up.

Depends on the computer normally it should beep once, if youve got more than one stick of memory try fitting just one.

I'll tinker with it...if I still have problems ill post a video for it that might be more helpful.

To find out the RAM's density, you'll have to check with the company you bought it from. Also check to see what your motherboard can use. If they're not compatible, then you're out of luck. You'll have to return it and get new memory if they're not compatible.

PLEASE HELP!

Hey bro, I don't think your motherboard like the RAM. Sounds funny but is true. Make sure your motherboard support the ram speed and the ram type. IF you don't have the correct RAM for your Motherboard will give you a beep sound letting youk know that there is a problem with your ram or your CPU. Different beeps means different codes that tells you what it is. Try this reset your BIOS(CMOS) setting to default by resetting the jumper pings next to the lil watch battery.

Power down your PC.
Locate a rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), and switch it from the on position (I) to the off position (O).

Find the 3-pin jumper near the battery, typically labeled "clear cmos" or "reset bios".

Remove the jumper from the default position (typically connecting the 1st and 2nd pins).
Replace the jumper to connect the 2nd and 3rd pins.

Push the power button on the front of your PC once.
Wait a minute.

Return the jumper to its default position, connecting the 1st and 2nd pins.
Move the rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), to the on (I) position.

Power on your PC with its front power button.
If it doesn't work go to alternate options

Alternate Method 1
Locate a rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), and switch it from the on position (I) to the off position (O).

Remove the CMOS battery. This should be a regular 3V, round, flat watch battery.

Wait at least 5 minutes.
Reinsert the CMOS battery.

Move the rocker-style switch at the back of your PC (if applicable), to the on (I) position.
Power on your PC with its front power button.

maybe this vid will help some

don't suppose I can get you make a vid or some pics instructing me on where some on those parts and how to?

appreciate you response by the way i will try experimenting with what you said

The memory that was originally installed what does it say on the label does that have pc2700on it, and does it still work with that.

In the vid you say when yo fitted them they started to act the same way, did you try with just one stick in the different sockets.
