I have an older computer and just upgraded to Windows 7 (32-bit since I only have two 512MB of RAM) but it's getting really slow and it just gave me a total black screen on start up! Ugh. Actually, the screen was really dim once when I turned it on, and then the next time I know that it turned on (because it backed up to my external hard drive - yay!) but then the next couple times I turned it on, it was all black - no boot screen, no flashing cursor. And then an hour later, it turned right on! So I'm thinking it might be the RAM... Anyway, how do you figure out how much your computer/OS can handle? Thanks! Annie Hi -

Then you are ready to touch things. You can unplug a few things but take note of where they are coming from and make sure you put them back in the same spot. If this is too difficult then I suggest you take it into our computer repair guy and ask first, how much it will be to insert your piece of memory. The job takes about 1 min and surely they can't rip you off for that? Have you got the power unplugged..?

I have successfully opened taken off the side panel, but when I get there, the memory slot area is underneath all these wiring and contraptions that I can't seem to move out of the way. How do I get to the memory slot in this case? Any suggestions? Maria I am trying to upgrade my memory and having a hard time gettng to the memory slot inside my tower pc, which is an HP Pavillon.

Most of old computers are the ones which have a random access memory of about 128MB. This is not so bad but then your computer will be so slow. A RAM of 500MB and above is very good as with this you are assured of a fast computer. Upgrading your computer memory really helps it to be fast.

I upgrade my netbook Asus 1005PE with a 2GB Crucial RAM which is compatible with my original netbook's RAM. I follow the guide provided by Crucial step by step. However, my netbook doesn't boot, it has a black screen but the lights are on and the fan is running. I tried many times to clean the RAM, to reboot,... but nothing works. Please help me! Thank you very much. Hello. I upgrade my netbook Asus 1005PE with a 2GB Crucial RAM which is compatible with my original netbook’s RAM. I follow the guide provided by Crucial step by step.
