How can i get my computer to start up again?

Question

I have aperfectly normal working pc,i wanted to add more memory to it,and stupudily i added sd ram to the ddr ram thatn was already in there.So when starting up the pc,the pc only recognised the sd ram,and not the ddr ram,i took out the sd ram and put the ddr ram back in,did not work,put back the sd ram it works.Went on the net to get help,someone gave me these steps.Take out sd ram after switching off the pc.Switch the pc on,and then back off,then put in the ddr ram,switch back on,does not work,switch off put back sd ram,oh my god now that does not work.So now my pc makes 3 beeps at a time.What can i do to make the pc work again? I have took out the battery,and jumpers some told me to do,but all i am getting is beeps.

Answer 1

While your computer is off, insert the ddr ram only. While still off, clear the cmos on your motherboard. (consult manual if you need to) then turn it back on and you should be good to go.

Answer 2

Only thing you can try is resetting the CMOS and see if it will boot. Chances are you cooked the memory controller on the board. Buying a new board might be your only solution if clearing the cmos doesn't work. You might have also damaged one of the sticks of ram as both run at different voltages, so try a totally new stick of ram that has never been installed.
Oh, next time-RTFM. :)
Just friendly advice.

Answer 3

If you here the beep sound probably the ram may be corrupt
to make it sure hit the del or f1 button during bootup check the bios
for the ram look if it si detected.

Answer 4

well... 3 beeps means something is wrong. put the ddr ram in the computer and see if it will work. If not all i have to tell you is that you screwed something up realllllly bad lol go to geek squad in best buy...

Some RAM/ hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful
