4 beeps sound when started up

[Hoa]

Hi guys,I recently come up with a trouble while booting one of my old laptops, when it started up, there is often 4 beeps sound cycle repeatedly. I did tried to look it up, it appears to be one of the RAM problems, i tried to remove the RAM bars, switched their places but it remain unfixed, please help

Thanks

I don't understand your statement?  Are you wanting me to look and see if something is wrong with the RAM?  I mean it looks clean and no traces look broken.

Crucial makes good RAM.  Really one of the best in the business.

 

As far as RAM selection goes you should go to your manufactures website and look there.

 

9/10 sticks of RAM are versatile enough that they will work as long as you buy one with the same technology (like DDR3 for example).  The difference is what profiles the motherboard has for the RAM.  It might default to a slightly slower speed, BUT it will work.

 

There is the occasional 1/10 sticks of RAM that WILL NOT work at all with your motherboard.  It is NOT the stick of RAM it is simply the motherboard doesn't support the timings/speeds/voltages/whatever of the RAM.

 

Once again, go to your motherboard manufactures website, they will be able to tell you what is "best" for your machine.
