Random Physical memory dumping after installing 256MB PC2700 DDR SODIMM RAM

After I have installed my 256MB PC2700 DDR SODIMM RAM and started up my Inspiron 1000 it ran ok for a while. Until five minutes later a blue screen poped up saying, Physical memory dumping. I didn't get to read the rest but it said something about removing any new hardware that was recently installed. So I just ignored it and thought the computer just glitched or something and turned off the computer. When I turned it back on, it said cannot find sysconfig file. So I took out the Ram and still did the same thing. I could not start my computer up. So I had to use the Windows Xp Home Edition CD and restart the whole system again. The Inpiron 1000 works only when my new Ram is not installed. I have no clue what the problem is, Can anyone help me?

My desktop did the same thing but i don't remember installing any new programs. Im not sure how to start deleting "junk" on my computer when that blue screen is up. Wondering if there is a way to bypass that some how and clean up my computer to fix it. Any Help??

Works only when the new ram is not installed?? There's you answer right there. The memory you installed is either bad or not compatible.

What is the maximum memory capacity for the MX6027 model ?

Hello Marc,

The maximum is 1 GB. Standard, it comes installed with 256 MB but you upgrade with additional 256 MB or 512 MB memory modules. The modules you are looking for are:

256 MB DDR (1 x 256 MB) SODIMM (PC2700) 2.5v SYNC
512 MB DDR (1 x 256 MB) SODIMM (PC2700) 2.5v SYNC

There are lots of places on the web to find decent prices for this memory. I have included a few below.

http://www.pcmemorystore.com/Gateway-M_Series_Notebooks-MX6027-ram.htm

http://www.computermemoryoutlet.com/Gateway-M_Series_Notebooks-MX6030-memory.htm

This document includes instructions for replacing the memory. It's a simple straightforward process.

RAM compatibility with MK79G motherboard

Hi, I am assuming that the original piece of memory was a 256mb ddr pc2700/333mhz ?
i have looked at your board on the product maker website and it supports memory to 2gb of pc2100,pc2700/pc3200 type memory. Be certain however that the new piece added is the same clock speed as the original that you are trying to use with it. You cannot mix clock speeds, either pc will not boot or it will only recognise the compatible piece. Have you tried booting with just the new piece 9 leaving out the older piece)if yes what was the result. Need more help ?? [email protected]
