Why would adding 2 new chips of memory cause Win XP Pro Not to Boot?
I have a Gateway Athlon 700 with 584MB of memory. 1 256MB SDRAM chip
with ECC, 2 128MB chips, non ECC. Got 2 256MB SpecTek Non ECC chips from my brother from his old computer. Replaced the 2 128 chips with the 2 256MB chips, figuring no problems would occur. Lo and behold, boot the system up and get: Windows could not start because of an error in the software. Please report this problem as : load needed DLLs for kernel Please contact your support person to report this problem. Take the 2 chips out, problem fixed, boots up fine. What about these chips would make the system fail? They should be compatible with my system. Any help would be appreciated thanks, Oscar |
