I have a Gateway 3200S Desktop. I had a 256 MB Graphics Card which specs on the label that listed 400 DDR 3200. I bought a 1 GB Graphics Card for $160 whic specs were for the same (3200, DDR, 400, Desktop). I kept the 256 MB, manually installed the 1 GB myself.
Turned on my computer, and the monitor was on, and continued to read the normal "MOnitor Self-Check" message. It did not act as if the CPU was plugged in. I tried another monitor, same case (so it's not the cord or the monitor itself). I tried several times with the first MB ram still in, just one, both, different spots, etc. No change in the monitor. It's been suggested to me since I didn't have 1 GB in 1 spot, and 1 GB in the other, that I unbalanced my computer. No other suggestion has made sense to me.
Do you have any suggestions about how to fix this problem and salvage my cpu? Is it unbalanced now, and if so how to fix?
