Let's handle your RAM question, then I'll research the auto-disconnect problem.

Run Everest and get me the following info (Separate the info into 2 groups, one for each computer):

1. Type of RAM.
2. Maximum RAM compacity.
3. Speed of RAM (Not sure if Everest shows this)
4. Motherboard Model and Serial number.

The motherboard info and the RAM info was what I needed. Get me that info for the other computer too and I will let you know if the RAM is interchangable or not.

It looks compatable. You can use the RAM from your old computer. The one thing I didn't see is whether you have an open slot on the computer that you want to install RAM on. If you want to see if you have open space, you can download SIW and click on the memory section in the menu to the left.

I think it would be better to use the memory from your older computer, simply because it is cheaper :tazz: . How old is the computer that you want to add RAM to?

Hmm...older computers eh? This is what I could find that might be compatable for your computers.

http://www.newegg.co...Submit=Property

If you decide you'd rather buy some RAM, you can choose one of these. Pay close attention to the Features section of the RAM's description. This will tell you what brand of computer they are compatable with (such as Compaq Presario 7360). Click on the RAM you are looking at and look for the full list of compatable computers. If you don't see your computer brand there, it is most likely incompatable.

This is why it will be much better, and cheaper :tazz: , to just use the RAM from the old computer that you have. Don't forget about electrostatic discharge when you operate on your computer. And, of course, unplug your computer before you operate on it.

If you have any questions or need any help, I will be here for ya. And when you are satisfied with the amount of RAM you have, we can take a look at your auto-disconnect problem.

Put them in numerical order. For example, put the 256 in the first slot and the 128 in the second slot.

Changing the RAM will not change any files or programs on your computer.


Important things to keep in mind
1. Unplug the computer before working on it.
2. Use an ESD wrist strap.
3. Make sure the RAM is firmly in place and facing the correct direction when you put it in.
4. The RAM should snap on each side when it is in correctly, you shouldn't have to push so hard that the Motherboard bends.
5. Go slowly so you can get the RAM in the slot correctly, and then push till the ends snap.
6. Try to touch only the edges of the RAM, so the oils on your hand doesn't mess anything up.
7. Use a flashlight to confirm that it is in all the way (the metal contacts will barely be visible).
8. It could require 2 people, one to hold a flashlight, while the other doing the work.
