Compaq Evo Desktop memory problem
A friend has a Compaq Evo desktop computer (circa 2002) that won't boot up.
It gives the beep sequence, 1 short, 2 long and also the Num-Lock LED blinks continuously. According to the documentation for this particular computer, these symptoms indicate it's probably something to do with mixing ECC with non-ECC memory. The memory he has on board is from Kingston - KTC-D320/128 - and is in both memory slots. Question 1 is - is this DDR or DDR2 memory and question 2 is - ECC or non-ECC? Also, has anyone else experienced this type of problem with this type of computer (and does HP have something to do with the Compaq Evo's)? Thanks for any help here. |

Compaq Evo Desktop memory problem
How about also explaining which model of Evo this one is. Different models
often have different requirements for the type of memory. A circa 2002 computer is too old to use DDR2. KTC-D320/128 is supposed to be non-parity DDR, PC2700 speed...
