Help,

I had this board working fine running red hat 8.0 for months. I was
switching rooms and my wonderful 512 DDR stick of crucial memory somehow did
not make it. I got the cheap stuff which was working and I started a clean
win98 install (which I need for teaching purposes) in preparation for a dual
boot. The install ran overnight and when I came in the next morning the
system was frozen on the boot screen. I reset it and have been getting the 4
beeps ever since. I checked the memory and it works fine in other systems
and I just got another stick of crucial just in case but no luck, nothing
but the 4 beeps.

I have an electrical engineering background, but I am not familiar enough
with motherboards to know which are the most likely components or what
possible other steps I could take to isolate the problem. Any thoughts or
ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyrone Thompson

Check you memory settings in the BIOS. Make sure they are not set too
aggressive for the memory stick you are using.
