His is not my main pc this is to shitty lol Ok i have a dell optiplex  with 3ghz pentuim 4  i put in as upgrade works fine but every time i add 2 256 mb sticks of ram to the other 2 256 mb sticks i open chrome and pc crashes but with not enough ram / 512mb its at 442 mb usage aslo bios is reset to the corect settings that pc chose for the 1gb ram so it should work

Hardware: Has geforce 6200 that i upgraded it to and 3ghz p4 i put in but trying to upgrade ram so i can sell it later

It could be bad RAM or a Windows issue. You're not going to try to get actual money for that are you?

This system has a street value of exactly $0. Nobody wants to pay for Pentium 4 machines. They're obsolete.

Doesn't matter, it's still a Pentium 4. Just because my Pentium III runs good doesn't mean it's worth money. Pentium 4's are completely worthless.

It doesn't matter that the parts are going for money, but as a computer yes, those are worthless.

Hey OP, what operating system are you using? If it's Win7 32bit you need 1GB to run just Windows. If it's Windows 98, you can't put more than 792MB RAM or it will crash, you can exceed 512 with some software patching, there's a guide somewhere that'll get you there.

 

If you're adamant about getting this thing working, run Memtestx86 on your RAM, shouldn't take long since there's so little of it, and do the usual diags on your HDD and maybe a little Prime95 testing for the CPU/RAM if memtest says its A-Ok.

 

Though, whether someone will pay you for the end package or not, is entirely a different matter.
