I upgrade Bios from F4 to F5
Return error code 0x000000A5

I reboot and retry with [F7] being press,
return error code 0x00000050

The CPU is new AMD 64
The MB is new Gigabyte GA-K8NS
The Ram (Speed DDR 400 512MB is working properly in an PC using Magic Pro K7v-400 MB, AMD 2000+ CPU)

Whats wrong?

What brand is your memory? Inferior memory will make your computer flaky, something windows install will not tolerate.
