A: Try follow these steps. 1) Plug in you RAM and power on your computer. Did your computer BEEP? If YES, you have a compatibility problem. 2) Enter your CMOS setup (BIOS). Normally it is done by tapping DELETE (depend on computer). Check if your RAM has the correct value or not. If NOT, it is either the RAM slot defect or faulty RAM. 3) If everything is still OK, exit BIOS (without save anything) and continue boot into Windows. If it hang there = Windows Problem. Hope that solve you problem. -Rufas PS Thanks for remind me NOT to buy from ebay.
