FAQ: Memory Upgrade on eMachines M68(XX)/ Gateway 74(XX)GX, MX75(XX) - Page 7

ok, got home, tore down the m6811 again.... was right there about to take out the internal memory when i notice the ribbon connector from the usb/media card reader was not completely on straight to the motherboard.... must have been me from last time i tore it down..... anyway unclipped the ribbon strip and put it back in so it was straight..... started right up.... thanks for your patience and your willingness to help QHN, soon I will have the hard drive here and then more fun begins... I couldnt find a 120gb 7200rpm for a decent price, and I only found one..... So i got a 120gb seagate 5400rpm 8mb cache..... hoping it will produce great results. Thanks again

i know this is a VERY long time since the last posting and im hoping there are some ppl around who are watching this, but has ANY one come up with a solution to having 2GB of PC3200 in the computer and it staying on. i can get into windows, but i ether freeze or bluescreen out shortly after booting. ive had the comp running in bios for the better part of an hour while i checked this fourm out and it hasnt shutdown yet.

It sure has been awhile. You can indeed get it to work, you have to use a brand that is compatible. If your brand is not working, use one stick at a time and see if there are errors. If there is, RMA it, or get a different brand. It will work.

I no longer remeber what brand I used back then, but I owned a lot of these and work on a ton more.
