Issue with RAM, transitioning from single to dual channels.
Issue with RAM, transitioning from single to dual channels.
Hey, I understand your issue. The PC was supposed to have dual-channel RAM, but it only had a single channel setup. When you tried to switch to dual, the system wouldn't boot and the DRAM LED would light up. You might need to check the RAM modules for proper installation or contact the manufacturer for guidance on dual-channel configuration.
It was placed near the closest CPU slots (1 and 2), then shifted to 2, 4—but it wouldn’t boot. I’m new to this, so I’ll explain. After checking more closely: first MMA 1 and MMA 2, then MMA 2 with MMB2.
The instructions suggest omitting the jumper cap and using a metal object like a screwdriver tip instead.
Yes, change the slots, short JBAT1, and power it up. This should not impact other settings. Using a screwdriver is safe if you follow proper procedures.
