Driver 99

Hi all,

I have the following set-up:

P4 2.53

Soltek SL85DRV3 MB

Win2k Pro Clean install, all packs and patches installed.

The system runs fine with 512mg or 1 gig of pc2100 ram but when I add a
third stick of ram to take it to 1.5 gig it just reboots on a stop error
just after boot up.

Which DIMM or which slot I leave out makes no difference. Any two DIMMs in
any two slots = ok. 3 DIMMs = reboots.

I remember in win 98 you had to limit vcache if you had a lot of ram ?

Help please.

Thanks Graham.
 
Probably not a software problem.

Either you got some marginally bad RAM or your motherboard doesn't accept
certain combinations of single/double-sided DIMMs. Check the manual.
