Idk why, when I put it in, it makes 3 noises (weird ones) and it doesn`t start up. but when I put my other one back in (1GB/512MB/512MB/512MB) it works. I can be more specific if anyone needs more info. Pls help lol.

| Is it inserted into the socket correctly? The beeps you heard probably has this pattern: long, short, short, pause, short, short, short.

No it was inserted correctly, I pushd it down all the way so I could here the switches click in. I press the power it doesn`t power on it just makes noises.

What motherboard do you have?
Exactly which Ram do you have?
Those motherboard beep sounds are your beep codes.
Most of the time 3 beep codes are a RAM problem.
The beeps are a good thing, so don't worry about the beeps.
The RAM stick is the only problem.

| Check your bios for RAM speed settings: If it says Auto, take a look at the options they have. If it has the option sync, use that.

| Did you match your RAM with your motherboard? The weird sounds is the motherboard telling you something is wrong, its also called beep codes. Contact your motherboard manufacturer and get a beep code chart so you know what your motherboard is trying to tell you.

I`m pretty sure it was the RAM issue, but it`s weird, because I took 512MB ram sticks from another dell computer. Put it in my computer, it worked fine. Then I took 1 1GB RAM stick from my computer and tried to put it into the other Dell computer (Duo 2) processor and it made the same beeping noises. But when I put in the 256`s from my computer it worked fine...
