Dudes, you have been a great help, and this site is excellent. thanks to the replyers for all your input, and thanks to PCHF. The more I run into problems, the more I learn from PCHF.....RAM voltage is my next lesson. Thanks again. - Steve
he has two colors, that means he has dual channel memory, which doesnt have any impact on this. DIMM mans Dual Inline Memory Module. a RAM module is called a DIMM. all RAM is. it appears to wadd and i that the reason your new memory doesnt work is because it runs on a different voltage than the motherboard supports.
"Across the pond" you guys run 220volts, yes?
Everything's 120volts here-- power-supplies would be different. MOBO's too probably-- could be the issue--not sure-- will be an interesting research issue
i dont think that will help. he has an emachines, OEMs generally dont have advanced BIOS options like that. The memory your motherboard needs is probably 2.5v. but what you bought is probably like 2.6 or 2.7 or more. or less.
