Default Ebay Memory Compatibility Problem?
Hi. My computer is a HP a0708.uk. I bought 1 Gb of memory from ebay. The seller said that the memory is compatible with my chipset (SIS 661FX). When I put the memory in one of the slots (512 in the other) the computer starts up, but then almost straight away restarts itself. I also tried it with just the new memory in the computer. It will only get as far as windows if it's started in safe mode. The memory I bought is here...
NEW 1GB PC 3200 DDR 400 Mhz 184PIN 1 GB G 1024MB IN UK on eBay Memory, Desktop PC Components, Computing

Please help me!!!

Welcome to PC Help Forum.

Can you please re-confirm your PC make and model number - I can't find any information on an HP A0708.UK model

Oye,

Well I googled around and the SIS 661FX chip is indeed compatible with DDR400, so I'm guessing you just bought damaged RAM then

If it turns out you bought damaged RAM, and the seller claims it was working, file a SNAD (significantly not as described) dispute with eBay and it is likely you will get your money back.
