Hi, I thought it was very odd also, I generally can plug PC133 in for a PC100 application, BUT this particular board wouldn't accept them. I only use quality memory to save myself headaches, and all the DIMMs I used for this mess were Kingston, PC133 128 MB DIMM's give me a 64Meg countup then a...

Thanks for the reply, according to the manual from Amptron the MB accepts 128MB DIMMS as long as they are PC100 and not PC133. I have already verified the DIMMS themselves by plugging them into another PC. They register up to 128MB just like they should, and they checked out fine on a memory...

Hello Again, The angel of problem computers is back, I have an Amptron PM8600a MB that I am upgrading memory in. According to the manual for the PM8600 I can use SDRAM in the DIMM slots. I installed (2) 128 MB DIMMS for a total of 256MB. The system boots fine and starts up great EXCEPT it will...

Thanks to all that replied, It took a combination of things to make this work, the most significant I believe was to increase the RAM from 32MB to 64MB. I still have everything trying to stuff itself in IRQ 10 (IRQ 9 is empty) I changed slots, changed cards, tried to reserve IRQ10, Tried turning...

Hello, I have a Video adapter, Modem, and NIC that insist on using IRQ 10 under WIN98. a: There are no jumpers on these cards, so I can't "adjust" them. b: WIN98 won't let me change the IRQ in the control panel, only the memory resource. c: WIN98 doesn't show conflicts, it just...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I found the problem; In a fit I replaced the memory yet another time, only this time I let the frustration get to me. I REALLY leaned on the DIMM until I got a LOUD crack, I thought I broke the board. IT WORKED... I guess the guys at Elite Groups believe in the bigger...

Well, I have now replaced the CPU, and have the exact same problem with one long beep that repeats ad infinitum. I am totally lost here, the BIOS is AWARD, according to them the only beep code they use is video (1 long, 3 short) everything else is probably memory. I have replaced: The CPU, The...

Thanks for the response, The video is integrated into the MB, and this is the second MB with the exact same problem. According to AWARD the BIOS only has one BEEP code and that's for a video problem. "anything else is probably memory". I already swapped both the MB and RAM out with no...

Hi Rick, You should have received a utility with your Quantum drive that will set your BIOS and deals with the ATA66 issue. I have run into this same issue on the big drives from quantum numerous times, and the utility has always taken care of it. As previously noted you may wish to check for...

Hi, I am putting a new system together and am running out of ideas. I am using an Elite Groups PXSEP-Me motherboard with a Celeron 433 processor. I have striped all connections from the board except video, checked,checked,rechecked all the jumpers. When I power up the board I get nothing but a...
