Memory loss after power down?
I did a clean out of my computer today, unplugged everything switched off PSU and unplugged. Blew everything out with air. Reconnected everything , double checking all connections as usual.
Went to boot up and all I get is constant beeping. According to Award BIOS it's DRAM issue. Why would Disconnecting my PSU and reconnecting lead to no recognition of RAM? SPECS: MOBO : GIGIABYTE G4-M55 PLUS S3G (REV 1.2) PROC: AMD SEMPRON 64 3000+ 1.6 GHZ PSU: XCLIO 450BL 450W RAM: GSKILL 667 1GB VID: EVGA 256-P2-N412 LX GEFORCE 7100GS Please help with this I'm stumped. Thanks e777 |

Try clearing the CMOS.

Did you clear the CMOS using the jumper pins? Have you tried reseating the RAM?

Double check and make sure the memory is installed securely in place.

I never removed the memory so it should be seated correctly just like it was before. There has to be a solution to this. This is my wife's business computer if I don't fix it I'm fired.

The RAM could have gotten bumped. I would suggest removing and reinstalling it. Have you tried clearing the CMOS using the jumper pins?

There is a chance that you knocked something loose while working inside the computer.
Thus, why I asked you to try reseating the memory since you seem to be having a memory related problem. |

OK I got it up and running again, but the memory stick will only work in slots 3 or 4 not in 1 or 2.
Are slots 1 and 2 bad or is the stick finicky now ? Anyone have a clue about this problem ? e777 |
