Aspire E380 Ram Upgrade
Hi, I have get repeated beeps when I install 2gigs of extra ram on my
2/4 ram slots. I'm running and Aspire E380 and it seems I need to update my BIOS but I can't find any information on the internet regarding how to do this. |

Aspire E380 Ram Upgrade
Hi.
Here's a link to the Acer download page for the bios flash file. http://tinyurl.com/dce8zo However flashing a bios can do as much harm as it can do good and should be regarded as a final potential solution. Within the zip file there is a .pdf explaining how to proceed with flashing the bios. / Ani |

I've never flashed a bios before, and I'd rather not risk it. Is there another solution you would recommend that is safer? |

Star troubleshooting the RAM modules one by one trying each module out in each socket to either rule out a faulty module or a faulty socket on the motherboard. Also make sure to check the technical specification of the desktop model making sure that the new ram isn't working on a too high frequency for the motherboard. / Ani |

Already did this, each socket works fine. Its just a problem if it goes over 2 regardless of new/old card. I even tried same 4 old ram cards using my friend's computer but it still gave same results. |
