My system has been running great. Until this afternoon!
I was troubleshooting a system card, reseating and so forth. Rebooted
and the boot-up looked fine, counting through all RAM (512k) and loading
device drivers to begin Windows... but just when I should have seen
Win98 desktop I get:
RAM PARITY ERROR - checking for segment - offending segment 0000.
Hit F1 to ignore NMI, F2 to reboot.
Neither key worked. Keyboard frozen. Curser blinks on black screen.
I looked up this error in Google archives but virtually every post I
read was from someone who had just installed memory and was having
trouble with BIOS settings with mixed/matched mem sets; OR had just
enabled Parity/ECC check in their BIOS. Neither applies to me.
1. I do not have Parity/ECC check enabled in BIOS.
2. My BIOS settings have been the same for months.
3. This has all worked flawlessly for months...
HELP! THANK YOU!
