I am having a PC with Pentium IV(4) which has two RAM slots. My PC already had 1 GB RAM in one of the slots and I then purchased another RAM stick of 1GB RAM as my PC supports only 2GB.
It worked fine until one day I decided to clean my computer and I took out the ram sticks and dusted. When I tried to turn on my PC, it did not boot and got stuck in the BIOS. I knew this was because one of the RAM sticks were not properly installed. I took out and re-inserted the RAM sticks but still I was out of luck.
Then I decided to put in only one RAM stick and the PC booted. I tried checking that if one of the RAM slots were faulty by putting another stick in the other slot and, it booted.
These are the things that I tried -
- Inserting RAM1 in Slot1 - Booted.
- Inserting RAM1 in Slot2 - Booted.
- Inserting RAM2 in Slot1 - Booted.
- Inserting RAM2 in Slot2 - Booted.
- Inserting RAM1 in Slot1 and RAM2 in Slot2 - Stuck in BIOS0 :(
- Inserting RAM1 in Slot2 and RAM2 in Slot1 - Stuck in BIOS again.. :(
Please help. I would really appreciate it.
