I built a :
P4 2.5 /Windows XP Professional
Motherboard - EliteGroup L4VXA2 rev 1.0
VIA Chipset Apollo PX400 [current update]
VT8754 Northbridge / VT 8235Southbridge
Phoenis Award Bios [current]
Corsair 512 3200/400 unbuffered [1]
3 memory slots/12 gig total capability
80 gig HDD
GeForce 4 Ti4200/128 Video
ESI Juli Audio/Envy24 Processor
CD RW
I am trying to add this Ram:
[1] 512 Kingston 3200/400 unbuffered from Frys Electronics
1st attempt:
computer reboots just before reaching desktop.
On 3rd reboot, computer reaches desktop but a
registry file prompt says XP had to restore a
file that was missing/corrupt.
Subsequent RESTART - all docs on desktop are missing
I then restore to previous days XP and remove
Kingston Ram. System returns and runs as normal
2nd attempt:
Put Kingston Ram in right slot [of 3] leaving center empty.
Near same results of rebooting before reaching desktop.
Try remaining combinations of Ram/slots - no change.
Return Ram to Frys and inquire about campatability of
Corsair
and Kingston sticks - told they are compatable and acquire
replacement Kingston stick.
3rd attempt:
No change from previous conditions.
Removed original Corsair and reboot with only new Kingston.
Computer runs normally.
I am no tech but have exhausted my understanding of how to proceed and,
of course welcome any suggestions.
Thanks
