RAM upgrade troubles: What should I do?
571104
I wrote the following in my review of the 1000HE netbook. Did you follow all these steps? It was a breeze to replace the installed 1GB with 2GB -- remove 2 screws, take off cover, push out the two retaining clips on either side of the 1GB module, take out the 1GB module, put in the 2GB module, press down, replace cover and screws, done! Oh, one more thing. As the computer starts to boot up (and I mean right when it starts to power up) hold down the F2 key to bring up the BIOS. Verify that it sees 2GB of RAM. Then hit F10 to save the configuration. Once booted up, check by right-clicking My Computer, Properties.

You should be able to just go to a third party ram manufacturer. I recommend crucial. They have fair prices and they also have a good memory analysis program you can download for free. Everything you need to buy good ram is pretty easy to use on their website.

I see that same thing in my task manager. I'm not sure, I do know for sure that this motherboard has custom soldered on 4gb of RAM in dual channel configuration and zero sodimm slots period. So, you can not upgrade. It is likely the processor and chipset are able to support another slot, if there were one. Asus has clearly really customized this machine to cram everything in here.

I'm not a teck so keep that in mind. I had a problem too at first when I saw there were 2 separate areas for the memory chips. Try switching them and make sure they are securely inserted. Other than that I don't know. You might want to go to a place like Compusa or something. Sounds like an installation problem more than defects.

Are you sure that you are pushing the ram chip all the way down? Since all was working before you played with the ram, it seems like that's your most likely point of failure. I popped in my 2GB ram and all worked fine. As I recall, when the ram seats right you can feel it. The other possibility is that you somehow damaged the ram slot. Best way to diagnose your problem is to get your hands on another 1000HE and try swapping ram chips to see if the problem lies in the ram.

I maxed out the memory on my machine to 16GB. In your case, I think you will have to pair the RAM up. Two 4GB sticks on slots 1 and 3, and then two 2GB sticks on slots 2 and 4. (Or it may be the other way around.) I would just make sure that the speed of the RAM are identical. In other words, the originals are 1600MHz RAM, the additional ones should also be that too.

Could have 1 bad stick, take 1 stick out and see if it boots. If it boots then try just the other stick, if it fails to boot then you have spotted the failed stick of RAM and need to get a replacement

Check PS. New does not mean good, Check memory chips by inserting only one at a time (I have had bad memory out of the box cause the same issue). Remove MOBO and fire it on table top with minimum items connected.I built two computers with these cases.. no issues.

I was able to install Windows 7 without issues on this board. I agree with casselkid, I doubt is the board. I'm more inclined to think is a bad RAM. Try installing with only one memory stick, if fails, try another.

There is good advice given already but do check the DDR compatible with your model. I think it differs from this product. Here being DDR2 and yours probably DDR3!

It will depend on how many slots your machine has available for RAM. Look in your machine to see if you have an empty slot. If you do, then you can just put more RAM in the empty slot. If all of the slots are taken, you will want to replace one of the smaller sticks of RAM with a larger one.

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

Check Apple support site. Look up your computer model. That's where I found the information regarding what to do with my particular model. Then I purchased the correct ram cards and everything worked as expected. Perfecto!!!

As far as I know, Full Buffered Memory is not compatible with standard ddr2 slots.

I have done both plus upgraded the ram. Just remember u void the warranty if you do

The board will hold 8 RAM slots. Errors could be anything. A description of these errors would be helpful; It's not stated if these are RAM errors.

looks doubtful. have you used the RAM tool at Crucial to ensure that you have the right RAM spec. I would suggest you use that tool and then decide.
