Urge to Commit Compucide... Rising...

About a month or so ago, I got a new memory stick. A nice 512MB one. For all this time it's run pretty well.

Then today it starts... not working so well. In fact it doesn't work at all. I switched it's position to another memory slot... and it's registering as a 256MB stick.

What is it about me and computers? Am I alternating between extremes of cursed and blessed? AUGH! I can't afford ANOTHER memory stick now, not at the prices they're going at. This is insane. *muttergrumblerazzinfrazzin*

Buggy computers
seem to follow me all of my life
Like snow in winter.

Might want to check with the manufacturer of the RAM. Most of 'em do lifetime warranty on their stuff, so it should be a small issue to get it replaced.

Sounds like some chips were faulty on the module. You might have to shell out $10-15 for shipping, but hey... it's cheaper than $100+ for another DIMM.

LOack of a receipt kind of makes it hard, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
