My current desktop computer is running on original Dell 2 x1GB PC2-5300 555Mhz ram, working very sluggishly (hence the upgrade), but working.
I just bought from a very reputable computer shop 2 sticks of Kingston 2GB 667Mhz ram.
Based on documentation (https://www.techwalla.com/articles/dell-optiplex-gx620-motherboard-specs), it is capable of running on 4GB ram at 667Mhz, so I'm not overloading it. When I try to start up my PC, it just makes long loud beeps until I power it back off. I made sure that they are alternated in opposite slots 1 & 2, not next to each other.
According to the Desktop manual, the front numbers that I see displayed (lights 1 & 3) indicate "Memory modules are detected, but a memory configuration or compatibility error exists."
If I'm installing the correct memory, why am I experiencing this error? Any help would be appreciated.
