Hi Mike,
Yes both sticks are identical and work alone. I think it may be a MB
problem. Haven't tried Andrews suggestion yet though. I had a question
about it. This MB is designed for a Duron or Althon CPU but it came from the
factory with a bios revision that makes it compatable with Sempron CPU's also
(which I am using). Will doing what Andrew suggests, revert the bios back to
the original bios that is only compatable with Duron/Althon CPUs or will it
just reset the bios to the way it was when I received the MB (ie. Sempron
compatable)?
I also have another question about DDR DIMM Modules. Can you install a
mixed set of sticks on the MB. On the old PC 100 sticks it was possible to
to have say a combination of two 128MB sticks and one 256MB stick on a three
bank system, as long as they were the same type of sticks. Can you do the
same combination with DDR sticks? I'm asking because I'm thinking of adding
a 512MB stick into the third bank, once I get this problem fixed. Thanks
for the help. Mack
