I was working on the computer last night, messing with my vid card. When I went to boot, nothing would come up on the screen.
After some troubleshooting, I have determined my 128MB stick is the culprit. It will boot just fine with the other 32MB stick only, but not with the 128MB only.
My motherboard has a jumper to change from 3.3V to 3.45V to 3.6V for the memory. Default setting is 3.45V. About a month ago I changed it to 3.6V to get a better o/c. Got up to 147fsb stable w/ PC100.
Now if I set the jumper back to 3.45V or 3.3V and use the 128MB stick only, it starts to boot - gives the processor, speed, fsb then starts to say "Memory 128MB OK", but freezes after "Memor".
I only get a black screen if the jumper is set to 3.6V.
Any chance cleaning the contacts will help, or is it fried?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
