Troubleshooting
Solution
Enter the BIOS Setup utility and save the new
memory configuration.
Check the memory for proper seating and
orientation. Reseat if necessary.
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. Make sure the
processor is fully seated in its socket. Reseat
if necessary. The processor should be
recognized automatically if it was installed
correctly.
If your system BIOS lets you select the
processor speed, make sure you have
selected the correct speed.
