what motherboard are you running? Also have you tried the dimm in different slots? Are you overclocking your memory? Are all the bios setting correct for your memory? Have you put the original 128Mb dimm back and still getting the errors?

it is an hp8550c. i tried it in both slots. i am not overclocking it. as it is an hp, there are no ram settings in the bios. anyone else have any ideas?

thanks

I had that problem and it was a bad stick of ram.

Its a POST error. Perhaps the CMOS is bad or it just needs to be re-flashed?

how would i find the right flash for this hp? also, could it be fixed by formatting do you think? lmk

Go to HP's website and search by model number.

I don't think a reformat is necessary, and it may just screw you when it turns out that the reinstall hangs from the same problem.
