Is There a way I can unlock the bios for changing the memory settings. I have newly purchased PQI 2x512mb sticks. when installed together I get BSOD after couple of minutes. I tested the memory individually and they are good. Is there any bios update for P4s-LA Asus motherboard.
My PC config is
HP Pavilion 750 CTO, DDR266, PC2100, two memory slots for 2gb maximum
Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. P4S-LA REV 1.xx
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
BIOS: Award Software, Inc. 3.04 02/09/2002
Thank you.

Sticks not 100% compatible with board I guess. I'd compalin at PQI if they list them as compatible for this system.

I feel the same, that the sticks which PQI are not compatible with the HP pavilion 750 system. Anyone has a compatibilty issues for similar configuration.

Please specify what memory modules you bought, especially the speed grade may be of interest (PC-2100, PC-2700 etc).

If you bought higher-grade memory like PC-3200 it'spossible their configuration EEPROMis not correctly programmed for slower speeds like 100/133 MHz

Are you sure your memory is not of a registered or ECC type ?
