Acer: Aspire 3000

Hi,

I had 2 256 memory sticks in my laptop which upgraded by buying 2, ddr 1 gb sticks. I checked a few sites to insure capatibility. After installing my computer turns on but does not boot up. I read some of the articles here which says you have to change the BIOS. Unfortunately, I can not access the BIOS thru the F2 key. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Ole

BIOS might be through delete key as well... try that as well. Also try it with just 1 dimm at a time in each slot

Thanks for the response! The delete key did not work but I did take out 1 at a time which did not work but put back in and well-ah, it worked. I must not have had the memory securely installed.
