Presario 5000 RAM
I've got a neighbor who owns a Presario 5000, model 5003US. I just
upgraded the machine to XP from ME with a clean install. Runs much better now, but he also bought a 128 meg PNY memory module for it at Staples to upgrade the RAM from 128 to 256. When I installed it, the machine started to boot and got to about 160 megs and the monitor just lit up like a Christmas tree with all kinds of funky colors. I thought maybe the RAM was no good so I had him return it but the replacement is doing the same thing. It's 128 megs of PC 133 RAM. Any clues as to what's wrong? Bob |
