Pedro1987,

The RAM may be broken. You should call Dell and complain that they gave you a broken RAM.

Dell could have ripped you off, took your money promised on thing and gave you another. You should call and complain loudly.

Or it could be that your ATI x1150 graphic card is an integrated video card not a dedicated. Dedicated cards have their our RAM/memory. Integrated use system RAM/memory to run.

Spend the 20 bucks and upgrade your RAM. Then install Dreamweaver. Enjoy using Windows!

Great Article. Now just wondering if anyone has the same problem as me.

I got a free upgrade on purchasing my Inspiron 1501 a year ago from 512MB to 1GB (2*512MB). Problem is now my System Information says I have 894MB.

I'm trying to run Dreamweaver which requires minimum 1GB and now it won't install.

Any suggestions.

I've just put a 2gig ram card (PC5300) in my Dell 1501 laptop. It already had two 512Mb installed.
I took out one of them and put the 2gb card in it's place.
I booted it up and went to system.
It now shows as 2.37gb. So the slots will take a 2gb ram card.
Hope this helps.

FYI - Standby mode copies your system state out to RAM, keeping the system powered enough to hold onto that information. It then powers down the CPU/video/HDD.

By touching the RAM itself while it was in standby you have probably screwed the RAM. Most definitely do not tell Dell what you were up to or your looking at a chargeable repair...

You have screwed yourself. Call Dell and tell them the computer won't turn on and send it in for repairs. I probably would have to advise you from telling them the truth.

I have a laptop problem regarding RAM replacement.

I removed the memory without removing the battery while my laptop was in standby mode.

Now, the computer won't start at all. What should I do?

2007-02-20T00:29:00.000-06:00

Interestingly enough, replacing both sticks at once caused some wild video errors. Bars of blue appeared above the boot up screen and once logged in, stripes of red were thrown around. Swapping out one of the old ones and rebooting fixed it. Didn't come back when both new ones were reinstalled, either.

Standby, hibernate and screen brightness all worked fine for me out of the box.
