One of my clients has a computer that will take several tries to boot. After watching this I've seen that the first couple of boots, the machine won't count the ram correctly.First boothad 39 kb , second 49 mb and last two 97 mb. The 97mb is the correct count. Any ideas as to why it dies the first couple times? The machine will crash before it gets into windows until about the 4th boot.
My first though a bad memory chip, but I would think it would always stop at the same point if that was the case. This is an old P166 running with 2 16mb EDO and a 63mb sdram.
Any ideas as to what the problem might be?
