Hi Guys,
I need your help. My PC cannot boot up. It only happen when I took one DDR SDRAM 512MB module out from port-1 because my System
Information read only 1024MB of RAM installed even though I used 3 modules of 512MB each and fully loaded which I expected to read a
total of 1536MB. I'm thinking if my PC indicated only 1024MB of RAM - what the heck of keeping the extra 512MB - I can give it away.
My sweet plan became sour. My PC cannot boot up any more - no matter how or what number or in combination modules I inserted in
port-1, port-2 & port-3. I even returned all 3 modules to it original ports and still does not work. My PC monitor show only black
screen and 2 alert Tone sounded liked European Police siren. The POST Codes LED show C1 and changed to C3 then stop there. The
motherboard is Epox 4G4A+ Pentium4 2.4GHz using 3 PC2100 memory modules of 512MB each.
This PC is my first one I built last October 2002. I never encountered any problem ever since and except now. Using Win-xp Pro and
Microsoft Office software. Before I proceed I always discharged static electricity by touching bare metal chassis and loosen 2 metal
screws by hand of side panel. I know to handled those modules by the edges and avoid in contact with metal connection or parts. I
have a static wrist band but never used.
Any tip or suggestion to boot up my PC will be appreciated. Sincerely, ---Rino
