Problem, possibly memory related?

i changed the jumper earlier, will take the battery out and wait a bit, maybe go to the pub

When it comes to these things Clocker>me, so go with his suggestion.

**Mr. Mulder** · 07-08-2005, 08:20 PM

cheers fellas i'll leave it all unplugged a few hours and let you know

How very kind of you, Snny, however misguided your trust.

I'm hoping he gets hammered at the pub and forgets who recommended this fix if it doesn't work out.

That leaves Mulder bemused, my reputation unbesmirched and his g/f still pissed.

Which is pretty much where we started out, eh?

yous guys

set it all back just now, switched on and got CMOS Battery Low and CMOS Memory Size Wrong

would a new battery cancel out this memory problem too?

could be a memory problem, ebuyer evr is renound for having bad sectors on it, i would get a new battery which wouldnt be expensive, but most of all i would flash the bios, use a m8s pc to download the bios for the mobo and put it on floppy, that shoud work, it seems your bios may be corrupted, as far as the windows errors see if you can use a different copy

some bloke just said that on another forum, what do you make of it?

I would try a new battery without flashing the BIOS.

If it says something about CMOS like that, it's referring to the CMOS-chip. And since you did get that warning about the battery being low, it's a likely culprit.

I don't think it has anything to do with your ram.

Those errors come later in the process.
