Without knowing the specific model of your PC or motherboard, the best I can do is list the most likely possibilities and let you approach the problem from there. Rick’s answer: Seth, there are several possible reasons why the new RAM you purchased isn’t working in your computer. What can be causing the computer not to boot up with the new RAM sticks installed? Thanks. If I remove the new RAM sticks and leave the old sticks installed the computer boots up OK. When I try to start up the PC with the new RAM sticks installed, I hear a beeping sound and an error message comes up on the screen. I bought two 8GB RAM sticks and installed them in the empty slots. My computer came with 4GB of RAM already installed (two 2GB sticks). Question from Seth: I need help with a RAM upgrade issue, Rick. Like my tips?
