I get a 05 Error Code now all the time when i turn on my computer and the computer will not load. This corresponds to a Cmos Error flag (according to the manual)
I get this after i cleared the Cmos, maybe i didn't clear the Cmos properly. At the beginning i got a 05 error and when i turned the computer on again it all worked and i got into windows. Now it never works. I cleared the Cmos because before this i had problems with the RDRAM sticks, i.e. sometimes when i turned on the computer i got beeps indicating that the memory is faulty. Also it showed a differenct memory size everytime in the BIOS, i was just going to buy 2 new memory sticks when this 05 error code crap happened.
Do you think i get this error because the memory sticks are screwed completely now (although it does pass the memory test and then gets stuck at the 05 error) or because i didn't clear the cmos properly (which i might have done). I tried to change the memory slots - same 05 error, i tried to clear the cmos again several times and same error.
What do i do? how do i fix this?
Thanks for your help
