1. It tells me that the suggested cas latency is "2"
2. It tells me that the memory test failed.
3. It tells me that I don't have an 80 pin conductor cable installed for the primary IDE channel.
I reformatted the hard drive thinking that would help, but it didn't. :-( I hate reformatting, because it seems like it's all I ever get done. Soon my hard drive will learn to hate me because of it!!! LOL It seems like I reformat every other day with this machine. sheeesh....
What should I do about the memory? Any suggestions???
I'm really puzzled on the "80 pin conductor" primary IDE cable. I am almost certain that I already have this. |
1. Change the memory's latency to 2 in BIOS. They may be ****ty computer but compaq dont skimp on there
RAM quality.
2. 168pin Memory Test Fail - was that the error (ignore that, my compaq's been doing it for years)
3. 80pin connector my Athlon64 does this, but I dont care, I ignored it and everything stll works A-OK.
Can you please email me this BIOS you used, I would like to have a tinker with it, see if I can overclock a little.
