Default 9232 boot question for HH


HH Wrote:
You got Fast Page Mode SIMMs, right? Not EDO. 8MB of EDO is soldered on
the
motherboard, but the added SIMMs must be Fast Page Mode RAM.
Did you try reseating the new SIMMs? Try just 2 of them?

thank you for your input on the parts my daughter was very excited
that
we could do this on Her pc .
i spent the 30 bucks to get a 166 intel chip and 4 32meg sticks of
memory from
http://www.isellsurplus.com/ .

i need to get thermal compound before i can add the 166 , but the
memory is causing a boot issue .
when i power up the pc it does the self test on the gateway monitor
and
asks me if my video cable is connected ! i removed the "new" used
memory
and reinstalled the old sticks and it boots fine .

how do i correct this ? thanks again for the info .

The Ghost-



yes it seems that 1 of the 4 are EDO instead of Fast Page - only 1 is
plainly marked as such . the 2nd one probably is also - if i switch it
out in place of a 32 that will work it doesn't boot . perhaps even
defective...
none of the memory is clearly marked as Fast Page not even the NEC made
memory already in the compaq .

i will leave the 32's in slots 1 and 2 and run 4's in slots 3 and 4 for
now - 80 is better than 24 !

thank you once again .
