Computer keeps rebooting

Hi there,

This is from the NX6310's documentation:

Intel 945GM Express Chipset supports up to 4096-MB maximum (2048-MB
533- or 667-MHz SODIMM in slots 1 and 2)
Intel 940GML Express Chipset supports up to 2048-MB maximum (1024-MB
533- or 667-MHz SODIMM in slots 1 and 2)

Basically if you have the Intel 940GML Express Chipset, then the machine only supports 2gb of ram as a maximum, to confirm this, go to Start > right click computer/mycomputer > go to manage > device manager > system devices.
Under there you'll see what chipset you have, if it's the Intel 940GML Express Chipset, you're out of luck, if it's the Intel 945GM, you may just have the wrong speed ram, make sure they are the same speed and compare them to the spec above.

Thanks,

Liam

What motherboard is it.
If you can find the makers name and model number on the board you can usually find it on the makers website and download the manual for it. That should tell you exactly the right configuration for the ram.

> I want to do 2GB or more.

As the Rolling Stones sang, "you can't always get what you want".

See: http://www.memorystock.com/ram/CompaqPresarios5300nxRAM.html

which states that your motherboard has 2 RAM slots, with a maximum of 512MB per slot.

So, how many RAM slots currently are empty, and how much RAM is installed?

If you currently have 2 sticks, at 256MB/stick, you will need to remove both sticks, and install two new sticks.

If you currently have 512MB of RAM, and one empty slot, then that web-page describes the exact type of RAM that you can insert into that empty slot.

One easy way to find out for sure how much RAM your computer can hold is to go to WWW.CRUCIAL.COM and run their SCAN MY COMPUTER feature.

This handy utility will scan your hardware configuration and tell you exactly how much RAM memory you currently have installed and what type it is.

It will also tell you how many RAM slots are fitted on your motherboard and what the maximum memory capacity for each individual slot is, as well as the maximum total RAM that the motherboard can handle.

If your computer does have room to add more RAM, it will provide you with specific recommendations as to exactly what type and size of RAM stick to buy in order to maximize the memory capacity and performance of your computer.

Thank you very much and good luck.

Hello
Number of Slots:4
Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Slot 4 Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 PC2-6400 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.
Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory
Good Luck, and do rate the solution if got help

Hello

Yes, you can upgrade your system upto 2GB RAM, buy another 512MB RAM DDR 333Mhz and install it to empty slot of RAM, it will upgrade the RAM to 1 GB.

Hope it will help, if so do rate the solution

Good Luck

I want to answer your question but I would need so many other questions answered. Topping of my list of necessary things to understand about your situation would be to understand why you would want to spend any time or money on this system? Are you going to actually use it after the ram upgrade? If so your money would go a lot further getting a used 2010 computer which would still be obsolete but may come with the 2gb ram right right from the factory. Maybe you should hit your local Craigslist and grab a $20 computer or take one a friend is sending to be recycled?

Dear Sir,

*********** board is Asus old p4 Mother board.It supports maximum 1GB RAM of DDR 400(DDR1). According to your post your computer having only one 512 MB working RAM. If you want good purformance you can upgrade your computer by purchasing another 512MB DDR400 RAM and install it on another RAM slot.If your computer have only one working RAM slot,you can purchase 1GB DDR400 RAM & install it on older RAM place. I think it solves your problem.if you have any problem come back with more information. I will try to assist you more accurately.

good luck

hiya

this board is ddr so you will need ddr400 or pc3200 and a maximum capacity of 2gb so be carefull with 1 gb sticks as sometimes this causes system crashes

hope this helps

Regard Rik

Can you get me the motherboard Model number ?
