Okay here's the deal:
Today I was looking at my motherboard manufacturer's website(Abit) and I found a motherboard tuning guide for my KX7-333R. I thought it would help my performance out a bit so I printed the page and started messing with the settings in the BIOS. The First things I did was I changed the Enhanced For Benchmark to Enabled and I set the CPU Fast Command Decode to Ultra. Then, I rebooted to see if the computer would boot and sure enough it booted fine. Next, I messed with the DRAM settings. I changed the DRAM CAS Latency to 2 instead of 2.5, I changed the Bank Interleave to 4 Bank, i changed the Precharge to active(Trp) to 2T, Active to Precharge to 5T, and Active to CMD(Trcd) to 2T. Then I rebooted to see if my system liked that or not and it would not boot up. So I cleared the CMOS by using the CMOS discharge jumper and I turned the computer back on and it booted up and everything. So I left those last DRAM settings to their default so I would not have any problems. Next, I changed the Enhance DRAM Performace to Enabled and DRAM Access to 2T. Then I rebooted and my system would not boot up. I changed the CMOS discharge jumper to pins 2 & 3 for about 10 seconds to clear the CMOS and I tried booting and it would not boot! The computer would turn on and I could hear the hard drive loading but I did not hear the POST beep and I don't have video. I do not know what is going on but I suspect that something is wrong with the RAM. It is a generic stick of 128MB. Could I have permanently damaged my RAM? Or maybe my BIOS isn't resetting? I really need some help so any thoughts will be a huge help. Thanks!
