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.

please get memtest86+ here: http://www.memtest.org/
and check your ram. make sure that the ram isn't overclocked and uses the spd settings (there are options in the bios that control those features).

You should have stayed with your original thread on this issue...since this is related.

Thanks.

I cannot do changes in bios as its a OEM bios P4S-LA. I did a memtest86 after several cycles its just gets frozen.

Thanks.
I feared that my query got unnoticed being in a wrong thread.

Nah...probably not.

Since I'm "The New Guy", I would have moved it, but I don't know all of the policies concerning this...yet.

Anyone care to share?

Thanks.
