Ram not compatible?

15 Apr 2016, 09:28

Hey guys i just installed this ram on my G6:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Komputerbay-512MB-133Mhz-DESKTOP-MEMORY/dp/B003CH7MY0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460730394&sr=8-1&keywords=512+sdram+pc133

512MB SDRAM DIMM (168 Pin) 133Mhz PC133 DESKTOP MEMORY

When i turn on the Fantom it stays stuck on the start screen saying "Fantom G"
I took off the ram and it started normally again. I tought this ram was compatible with "G" .
Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance

Not to say this would work for sure, but when I tried to install 512mb ram in mine, it failed to boot I got some kind of error..
I pulled it out the ram and tried again. Voila it worked.
Perhaps it wasn't seated properly the first time or maybe the pins on the ram or slot were dirty or corroded. Try putting it in and out a few times.
The ram you linked to should work, unless of course there is something wrong with the ram itself. Do you have anyway to check the ram. An old computer maybe.
