Memory/Processor Problems 77
Memory/Processor Problems
Memory errors were detected during system start up.
A new processor is not recognized by the system.
Probable Cause
Solution
Memory was added or
removed, and the new
configuration was not
saved in BIOS Setup.
Enter BIOS Setup and save the new memory
configuration.
The memory was
installed incorrectly.
Check the memory for proper seating and
orientation.
A memory chip is faulty.
Replace the card on which the faulty chip
resides. Third-party diagnostic programs can
help determine which chip or memory
segment is failing.
Probable Cause
Solution
The processor was
installed incorrectly or in
the wrong socket.
Check the installation. The processor should
be recognized automatically if it was installed
correctly.
The processor speed
was not selected on the
system board.
If your system board enables you to select the
processor speed, make sure you have
selected the speed properly.
A pin was bent on the
processor during
installation.
Remove the processor and inspect it for
damage. If a pin is bent, very carefully try to
straighten it.
