I RECIEVED A HP PAVILION 7995 from a friend and reformated it with xp pro. I had problems with missing files on the reinstall of windows but managed to get it done with everything working fine. I checked on the web and aparently these machines run on pc133 ram....it had a 256 stick in the first dimm socket....I tried an additional 128mg pc133 in each of the existing dimm sockets and nothing....won't start.....removed the additional ram ....won,t start.....please help as my son is all over me to get it going for him...thanks...
Did you discharge yourself of static electricity before touching the memory? Apparently static electricity can destroy memory. Also make sure the memory is correctly seated in the slot. Also check to see that everything inside the computer is properly connected. I have gone inside computers and have accidentally nudged something loose and as a result the unit would not work. Try a completely different memory stick than the ones you have now. These things are what I would investigate first.

I tried a different stick of ram.....256...pc133....sync....133mhz....tried in all dimm sockets....nothing ...amber light comes on for a couple of seconds and then nothing......no green light ....checked the wires...even removed the power supply.....no change...thanks for the help
Ok first, Remove all additional Sticks of ram that have been installed now, The original 256 Stick set that aside so you know which one it is. Also, take a look at it, does it say Pc100 or PC133 anywhere on it? Now put the original 256 stick and put it back in and try and start your computer. Let me if it starts or not please, Im very interested in this problem.
