1. Can Dell Dimension 9100 work with 2x2gb ram? 2. I am trying to install Windows 7 on a refurbished Dell Dimension 9100. It has 2x2gb ram, 1 TB Hard Drive and I have Windows 7 32 and 64 bits + Palit nVidia GeForce 9500GT 1GB Garphics Card. I am stuck as though the computer is powered on nothing is coming up when I put my windows 7 (either 64 or 32 bits) disc on the rom drive. What do I have to do to make it work?

Hey Tim,.
Once you installed Windows 7 onto the hard drive you would need to have installed the drivers. The one driver that is needed for resolution is the video card.You can right click on the desktop and then choose screen ressolution to see if you can change the resolution. Unfortunately, Dell does not have any Windows 7 drivers for the Dimension 2350 system.

Thank You,

Replace the fan(s). Routine maintenance.

Make sure physical cables are plugged in correctly from speaker to audio ports. Check audio driver if installed, if not you can download the driver from the dell website:support.dell.com.If driver is propely installed check sound/volume settings, make sure nothing is set to mute...Hope this helps...Cheers!!!

check your memory for bad chip
if you have 2x2GB it is posible

hmm have you tried putting it in another slot if it is a pci xpress ??

try a new cable for the hard drive and disk drive and see if no result try diferent hard drive please thanks

can nit be the motherboard cause you would not be able to boot at all ...probably it was just a real bad virus that affect something ..try to reinstall it clean...first remove the hdd and see it it boots to bios and if it sees the RAM memory ...and even so ..try to get from somewhere some suitable ram memory and replace teh old one ...just to see how it behaves....in most cases I run into when they blow me out and gave blue screen without explanations it was some issues with the ram memory ...so ...first just borrow some of the same size and frequency and see if it boots up ...it might surprise you in a positive way ...

try to boot in the safe mode and tell me what happens

Intel Pentium 4 Socket-T (LGA775) with Hyper-Threading or Dual-Core support, cache 1MB or 2Mb for 9100, or just 2Mb cache for 9150. I know of some of these machines having pentium D installed but I do not believe a Core 2 Duo is an option, whereas Dual-Core is. Good Luck!
