Jackie, Thanks for the advice. I too was afraid to push so hard for fear of breaking something. Also, you have to be a contortionist to get your hand in there to even try to see what you are doing. lol You gave me enough confidence to try it again.

Being a complete and utter novice at the art of ram, I | was so afraid to push too hard, I was positive I would break something. I | "put" it in firmly and I thought also like you, it was in. I put everything | back together, rebooted and nada. I then took it apart, pulled the ram out | and tried it again, pushing harder. Needless to say, all went well the | second time. And yes, you can get bad ram, but I would try once more to make | sure it's seated correctly in the slot first!! | HTH Jackie | | In a message dated 6/16/01 9:00:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Gairy@xxxxxxxxxx | writes: | | | > I just added a strip of memory to my computer and when I reboot it's not | > recognized.
