Hello. I have an eMachines T2984 desktop with currently has 512MB of OEM RAM. The memory is DDR PC2700 and there is one slot open. I went to BestBuy and bought a stick of PNY D512MPC320PT which is PC3200/PC2700/PC2100 compatible. I put the memory in and booted the PC up and I got 3 beeps and no monitor output. It failed POST. With the memory out, though, it boots fine. I tried it with/without the OEM Memory in AND in both Memory Slots. eMachines Support says that I need "eMachines Certified Memory". Is this true or did they just want me to buy it from them? I went onto PNY's Memory Configurator and it says that this RAM SHOULD work with my system. Also, I exchanged the Memory at BestBuy for a different module (same model though) and the same thing happens.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks,
Nick

Happy Trails

Try going to Crucial.com and using THIER mamory configurator. They offer free shipping and guarantee the memory to work.
