RAM upgrade causing problems.
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2005 11:04 pm
So I updated my RAM, changing it from a 512 and two 124's to three 512's. During the POST it reads all 1.5G of RAM, but when it tries to boot Windows I get the following error:
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor or visit http://www.hardware-update.com for an updated BIOS. If you are unable to obtain an updated BIOS or the latest BIOS supplied by your vendor is not ACPI compliant, you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. To do this, simply press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. The system will not notify you that the F7 key was pressed - it will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation.
Technical information:
*** STOP: 0X000000A5 (0X00000011, 0X00000007, 0XF77270C0, 0C0100000C)
There is no way for me to get into Windows as Safe Mode, Normal Mode, and "start from last known good configuration" all end up at this screen.
Thank you for any help you guys can provide.
