Memory/Processor Problems - Gateway E-1000 Series Maintaining And Troubleshooting

Memory/Processor Problems

Memory errors were detected during system start up.
Probable Cause
Memory was added or
removed, and the new
configuration was not
saved in BIOS Setup.
The memory was
installed incorrectly.
A memory chip is faulty.
A new processor is not recognized by the system.
Probable Cause
The processor was
installed incorrectly or in
the wrong socket.
The processor speed
was not selected on the
system board.
A pin was bent on the
processor during
installation.
Solution
Enter BIOS Setup and save the new memory
configuration.
Check the memory for proper seating and
orientation.
Replace the card on which the faulty chip
resides. Third-party diagnostic programs can
help determine which chip or memory
segment is failing.
Solution
Check the installation. The processor should
be recognized automatically if it was installed
correctly.
If your system board enables you to select the
processor speed, make sure you have
selected the speed properly.
Remove the processor and inspect it for
damage. If a pin is bent, very carefully try to
straighten it.
