Help req with Ram.

[robanfield]

Hi To All, I am a novice so bear with me. I am trying to install OCZ Reaper X Edition 4-4-3 pc2 6400 but I cannot get it to work. I have the pc running now with 1gb Taiwan ram pc2 5300 so I can make changes in Bios etc. I am positive I have to make alterations to voltages etc but do not know where to begin, I also do not know any abbreviations to do with timings etc in Bios. Is there a very basic dummies guide to installing ram and making changes to voltages etc maybe inc pictures.
I have another pc which I can use with a separate screen to cross reference if req.
I would be very grateful for any help.

Best regards to all,
Rob.

Welcome to hexus,

firstly are the specs on your profile accurate and upto date?

Secondly in what way does it not work? Blue screens on windows, doesn't boot, frequent crashes e.t.c.

Hi, Thanks for replying. The system will not boot with the Reaper but works fine with the other basic stick of ram.
Yes the profile is up to date.
Thanks again, Rob.

have you tried putting one module at a time to see if one works?

[robanfield]

Hi,Yes I have tried 1 module but will not work. I have checked and it is voltage and timing alterations etc but I do not know how to proceed.
Thanks Rob.
