All ram chips not created equal. Some will work others will not. Meanwhile memory slots can and do go bad so .........

Any 184-pin ddr ram should work on this. You can actually use pc3200 (ddr 400) ram as well. Pc2700 ram is ddr333, and a higher speed ddr ram like pc3200 will work just as well if not better than pc2700, it will simply go down to the speed that the processor requests the ram run at. It's all backwards compatible, faster ram can run slower if the computer needs it to run at the slower speed. Depending on the price you can find as long as you get 184 pin ddr ram either pc2700 or pc3200 with work fine with your motherboard. Peter

I believe that it should work with that chip. If you have the manual for the MoBo try resetting the cmos on the board. That should put every thing back to its defaults. It is posable that it is trying to run it at the wrong voltage.

Make sure your RAM is pushed in fully, even if the tabs have clicked, it may not be fully in, especially if your ram is wide (heatsinks etc) test it with one stick till it works, then get the other working :)

Using the manual for the Gigabyte GA-945P-S3 MB. Go to page 71 & you'll see bios beep codes for your board: AWARD BIOS Beep Codes 1 short: System boots successfully 2 short: CMOS setting error 1 long 1 short: DRAM or M/B error 1 long 2 short: Monitor or display card error 1 long 3 short: Keyboard error 1 long 9 short: BIOS ROM error Continuous long beeps: DRAM error Continuous short beeps: Power error As you can see there isn't a code for three short beeps. When you boot your system try to pause your boot up screen. See if the bios is reporting the correct total of memory in your system. Bios codes from the link below. http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm#05 3 beeps for the AMI bios code reports Base 64K RAM failure. You can test your memory. Go to memtest.org Scroll down the site to just under the three screen shots. Download Memtest86+ V2.11 You have a choice in making a bootable floppy disk or a bootable CD-ROM disk. Once completed you boot your system to the testing program. Memtest will check your system memory. This should help. Thanks for using FixYa! Mike

Power down your Toshiba Satellite.
Unplug it from the wall.
Turn the machine over and remove the battery.
Locate the RAM compartment cover, which is usually located somewhere in the middle of the underside, and is about 4-by-4 inches.
Unscrew the RAM cover screw with a Phillips screwdriver and set aside.
Ground yourself by touching a metal object.
This will release any static electricity built up in your body, which can harm computer chips and components.
You can also use an anti-static wristband while you are working.
Remove RAM modules if needed.
This is most likely if you are upgrading the present RAM capacity with a larger RAM chip.
Press your fingers on the clips on either side of the chip to pop it out of the socket.
Pull the chip out of the RAM compartment, holding it by the sides of the circuit board rather than on the chip.
Insert the new RAM module into the socket. Align the RAM module so that the notch lines up with the tab on the side of the socket.
Gently lower the module into the socket. Press into place with your fingers.
Replace the RAM compartment cover. Insert the screw and tighten.
Replace the battery and secure with the lock.
Plug the Toshiba Satellite laptop back in and power up the system.
The upgraded RAM should be automatically recognized.
hope this helps
