Still trying - thought I'd give it one more shot before admitting defeat and heading for the repair shop!
Unfortunately, I'm unable to answer the helpful questions raised and, to be honest, didn't understand most of them. (I know little/nothing about the actual PC operating system.)
Does the following information help:
I've tried each of the three banks of memory separately (they have to be fitted in pairs) and the computer works properly so I assume the memory I have is compatible with my system.
Results:
1 pair: Memory test on startup - 32768k OK
and CMOS shows 153604k
2 pairs: Memory test - 98304k OK and CMOS 15360k (as before)
3 pairs: Memeory test - 131072k OK and CMOS 15360k (as before)
So, although the amount of memory installed seems to show in the memory test on startup, and increases as I add each pair, the CMOS amount doesn't change at all.
My Computer/System shows 15mb each time, and doesn't change as the amount of memory instals increases.
131072k = 128mb Ram, but is my computer recognising (and, more important, using) all the memory installed?
Any ideas, guys?
Thanks.
