Learned scholars,

My Athlon 1.2 system can't detect SDRAM memory.

system: Athlon1.2, Asus mobo, 64mb Toshiba RAM,
128mb Hynix Ram, Strawberry128mbRAM, Geforce2 MX64mb,


Actually before, everything is ok. just that as a hobbyist i tend to
help my friends with pc matters and in the course of things, i have
plug and unplug the memory modules a few times.

recently my system can't detect the RAM and i have rubbed the RAM gold
plating contacts with erasers to clear off the dirt and impurities.
after many times of inserting, system managed to detect the RaMS.

Then i got a free 128mb SDRAM and prompttly installed them on my
ssystem. the detection problem crops aup again. i have tried all the
possible combinations of RAMS positions, but still can;t work. did
the cleaning with erasers too.

The system managed to boot up once but the screen was blurry and jerky
type. after plugging and replugging the display cord, system can't
reboot anymore

Any advise. Thanks

Try with those alcohol spray. Be sure to allow some time for the
alcohol to evaporate before plugging in.

BIND, the Buggy Internet Name Daemon is like Microsoft Windows. The damn thing doesn't work. Every version has been brimming with bugs.
