Changed Ram And Having Difficulties to Boot

Gilgamesh · 11-12-05, 05:40 PM

I was running a pair of Patriot PDP 2 GB i borrowed, now i bought a pair of mushking xtreme perfomance 2GB link now when i boot it says "cmos checksum error" press F1 to continue or DEL to enter set up.
I press F1 to continue, then boots into windows fine and everything stable, now when i go back and reboot i get a black screen and have to clear the cmos again. Is anything i'm missing?

Are you following the correct procedure to clear the CMOS?

Power off and remove the Powe chord

Set the CMOS Jumper to the Reset position and remove the battery

Wait for 30 min and rebverse these steps

Turn on, goto the BIOS, save Optimized Defaults and exit

Now proceed with saving new settings

Good Luck!

wait are u using both the patriot PDP and the mushkin extreme? if you're only using one of them, try putting them in a different slot. It happened with my Rosewill PC3200 256x2. Couldn't figure it out for 4 days. If you're using both that might be the problem. sry didnt see that the patriot sticks were borrowed

This board is really picky i did what you told me and worked, I'm just running the mushkin's as i've heard the board has issues with 4 sticks. I will not do another DFI too many problems so far. I'm running a opty at 2.8 Ghz default vcore. I'm shooting 3 Ghz now

after loading optimized defaults you need to restart windows, and it should say dmi pool update success, then you can power down and go at it.
