Hi,
My Pc Specs
Gigabyte G41M Combo Mobo
Intel Core 2 duo E7400 2.8 Ghz
DDR2 2 GB ram
I am replacing this ram with 4 Gb G skill 1333 Mhz RipjawsX Ram.
But when I install it, the PC does not start and Mobo starts beeping continuously. It is working fine with DDR2 ram.
The mobo supports 1066 Mhz and 1333 Mhz(by overclocking) DDR3 Ram.
I bought this ram thinking it will automatically downclock to 1033 Mhz but it hasn’t.
How can I make it work?
Do it manually in the bios.

The beeping is an indication that the RAM isn’t fully seated in the slots. Make sure it locks in on both ends.
And if you have no plans to overclock the CPU, you should be running the RAM as DDR3-1066 @ 533MHz frequency. Running DDR3-1333 @ 667MHz without overclocking the CPU to 333MHz frequency will throw off the ideal CPU:DRAM frequency ratio of 1:2. Instead, it will be 2:5 & you’ll take a performance hit.
