Foiled by this myself Friday
Attempting a memory upgrade on a Dell box. Dell uses some\r\nnonstandard (two notch) DIMMs. New stuff doesn't fit. Put the old\r\nstuff back in. Box won't boot, or POST. Five beeps, repeating.
\r\n\r\n
Re-seat the dummy DIMMs in the two additional memory slots\r\n(I'd pulled one to look at it). Waddyaknow -- you have to properly seat\r\nthe dummy memory sticks for the box to boot. And no, I didn't catch\r\nthat, our IT guy did.
