lisagauss Posted October 4, 2002 Author Share Posted October 4, 2002 1. your Ram is evil 2. Your Motherboard is a piece of crap. 3. You have no idea what your doing. 4. 2 of the 3 1. donn't think its the ram cause its the third stick i try 2. my mobo is a piece of crap. 3. i have a pretty good idea what im doing, i have built pc from scratch, i just know that there are alot of other people that know more and that may have come upon this error. 4. its probably #2 haven't taken it the wrong way!!!

K33NU Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Ok man !! i had the same problem , you must have a bad ram stick , go buy a new one or exchange the one you have at now :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thexxend Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 If the case is that your mobo is crap... than there is certain things you can do. Flashing your bios is one. However its a 500 to 1 shot. Mobos are manufactured for a certain type of ram. Altering the bios "might" cure the problem; chances are it wont. I suggest you acquire ram that has the same specs as your current ram. Thexxend...
