LOL Jose :) What you suggest is exactly what I have done and yes it posts and
all the ram is used. I still can't change the boot device and I expect to
continue getting the machine stop errors until I can figure this out but hey
.. . at least I am running!

Hi Jose and thanks for the reply. The beep codes are continuous indicating a
problem with the memory. I have 3 sets of memory: 2 @ 512k (one old but
worked with old cpu & 1 new purchased from Newegg) The motherboard will not
work with only one stick in place. Ram must be used in sets. The only options
are slots 1 & 2 or slots or slots 3 & 4. No other configuration will work
except of course with 4 sticks. I have tried all of the possible
configurations and the only times the beeps don't occur are when I install
the 256 in 1&2, when I install the 512 in slots 3&4, or with the 265 set in
1& 2 and the 512 in 3&4. I have checked the compatibility of all the sticks
and they all are said to be compatible.

I installed a new cpu in my amd athlon socket 939 computer that runs xp home

couldn't get the ram to work in slots 1 and 2 due to continuous beeping, I
moved to slots 3 & 4. Everything works now but I am getting the blue screen
of death a couple of time a day. The error code is as follows:
Machine_check_exception STOP:A 0X0000009C
(0X00000004,0X8054e5f0f,0XB2000000,0X00070F0F). The event viewer shows no
errors in security, system, or internet explorer, but does show 2 identical
errors in application, both occuring at the same time and as follows: crypt32
event 8.Source: Crypt32. This is further identified as follows: Failed auto
update retrieval of third-party root list sequence number from:
http//www.download.windowsupdate.dom/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/e...>
with error: This specified server cannot perform the requested operation. No
further info is available by going to the web site. I tried to do a windows
xp repair but I can't get the system to boot from anything but the hard
drive. I have tried resetting the bios and hitting f12 while booting. (this
gives me the boot selection screen but I lock up and can't change anything.)
I have tried to reset the COMOS and I have flashed the bios but nothing seems
to help. After trying two different sets of 512 memory in slots 1 & 2, both
of which caused the beeping, I just tried putting 2 256 ram sticks into
slots 1 and 2 and they work. DANG! Do I need to go buy an Apple?
The beeps come from the BIOS and are trying to tell you something is
wrong. If you know how to interpret the beeps, you can get past the
problem by fixing it.
If you look in the BIOS documentation (on or about page 75) there is a
section about different beep patterns (1 short beep is generally good)
and what the other beep codes are trying to tell you. This depends on
if your BIOS is AMI or AWARD according to the documentation.
You describe continous beeping. Is that 1 long, 9 short? Is it 7 or
8 or 9 or 10 or 11 short beeps? Is it continous longs or continuous
shorts?
Anything more than one short beep will give you the information you
need as to what to do next, but you have to read the manual for the
interpretation.
If you have the RAM is slots 1 and 2 and you get more than a short
beep, you need to stop there and figure out why.
Moving the RAM to slots 3 and 4 is not fixing the problem and it just
doesn't feel right, does it?
If your 512 RAMS don't work in slots 1 and 2 (and you sound sure they
should) and cause more than one short beep and your 256 RAMS do work,
I think I would figure that part out first.
Does a single 512 RAM in slot 1 work? Does the other single RAM work
in slot 1? Maybe one RAM is defective. By switching both at the same
time, you can't tell if it is one or both, or neither. If the 256
works in slot 1 and 2, the slots should be good, right? Are you 100%
sure both 512s are exactly the same?
MB jumpers? Incompatible BIOS? Wrong speed? Upside down ;)? If the
RAM is "bad", you will get a different symptom.
Get past the beeps first. They are not good.
Jose
Yeah - I read a little more in the manual later (in my spare time) and
saw the slots were different and needed pairs, etc.
If you put in 256, 256, 512, 512 (1,2,3,4) does it POST with 1.5GB and
no beeps? I think that would be fine, but maybe not your ideal config
or just right for the MB.
Anywho, I spent a good part of a day trying to get a guy just to
describe his beep codes with something besides "it just beeps!" and
finally he told me (in words) one short, one long, and for his BIOS
that was video, so he reseated his video card and that was it.
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something really simple.
Other than that, I have no ideas about this problem.
Rotsa ruck!
