ok so i just got a gig memory for my Dell Dimension 2400 Series..

when i put it in and boot it up it says..

Bios Revision A03
and then will just stay at that creen.

any idea what this means. or more or less how i can fix this problem to get the new memory working?

this is the memory i got off ebay.
and yes its the right one for my comp..

your POS specs...........

 

DOA, good chance atleast

 

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 202
Service Pack 1

Dell Demension DIM2400
Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53 GHz
2.52GHz
256 MB of RAM

 

Will it take 1GB. Not sure how the comp will react if you put too much in. Never done it myself.

I would just return it for a new stick.

 

the max that comp will recognize is 1gb, i've maxed a mobo out before but it still ran, just didn't use all of the ram

 

i asked the guys at the geeksquad.. he said even if i got the gig, it would only probly come out to be like 700-800 or something like that. but said it should still work.

this was before i had this problem. didnt get the memory from them cause it was to exspensive at that time.. they told me it would be onsale in like a month or so. so i just got it off ebay

 

I just bought a 1 gig stick on Newegg.com b/c I switched to a microATX and had one fewer slot, so I needed to go larger per stick.

I payed just under $75, but I feel a lot better buying there than eBay or many other places.

 

well i wish i had now.. now if this ---- dont work, i'm out almost 70 bucks

well ---- it.. what ya gonna do?

 

it said in that auction that he will replace DOA items. I would just contact him ASAP and get the ball rolling.

Newegg.com has been great on my returns. They are just shy of being able to walk into a store and return something.
