Hi Rick,
if you are using more than one stick of ram try running just one stick in=
the first slot.
If thing work without problems try adding more.
Frequently strange problems can be traced to miss matched ram.

Does anyone know of a simple way to check compatibility of RAM chips to
motherboards??? I have been working on an older IBM system that had many
errors on it, and I also added new ram chips to it. Now, it still has many
errors after I do a complete restore. It seems that every time I restore
this pc, and I've done this about 10 different times so far, I get=
different
errors using the same restore cd's. I don't get them when I do the restore,
I get them after it boots to Windows, using Win/98SE. Sometimes, it doesn't
happen for a few days after I restore it, then I'll get errors on it. Also,
now when I reinstall the old ram chips, I still get errors. I can't seem to
pinpoint why the errors are happening now, because they are NOT the same
errors every time. Sounds like I need to use my sledge hammer on it and=
have
them buy a new one. Thanks for any help from anyone.
