    Have you ran Memtest on your memory???????? I would test one Dimm at a time to check for errors before you replace other components(hdd,Mobo,PSU) on you pc.

    hehe thanks guys i got the bios and stuff....but another problem. I tried runing the flashing program AFUDOS.exe but when i do, I get all these options and i have no clue what they mean. Theres a "program main bios and non-critical blocks" option, "program NVRAM"..."program boot block" and options such as those. I tried other flashers such as AMIFLASH.com and AMINF339.exe. AMIFLASH stops working when i ned to press "Y" to continue, but i cant press "Y" or "N" and i gotta restart. For AMINF.exe, it says theres no chip or flasher present or something like that. Does anybody know a good flash program or understand the options i listed above? Thanks!

    AMI BIOS update supporting Intel Pentium 4 Prescott CPU. To update the BIOS, please launch the "update.bat" in the downloaded BIOS update under MS-DOS. The program will automatically begin the BIOS update process with adequate parameters.

    A:\update.bat but have the other files on the disk just in case. this is different way of doing bios upgrade than normal.

    I've bought a 512 MB Ram PC3200 (OEAM) Memory stick
    when I use it(with my 256 MB TwinMOS) I get BSOD's
    I worked already a month with BSOD's
    When I buy an other Memory stick, that is good, will the problems be over? Or do I have to buy a new motherboard, since I have already a month BSOD's

    My Momb=Asus p4s800

    have to eat, bye

    PS Please help me

    Read the users guide and then run the program. I found this to be more simple than memtest86(google it if you want) but both programs get the job done.

    I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic,
    Every test succeeds except ERAND...
    Is there a way to solve this prob?

    Thnx

    If at least one of the tests fails then yuor RAM is defective. Did you do anything with your RAM in the BIOS?

    No, I did nothing with my Ram in my bios
    I had every driver updated except for my bios
    so I'll flash my bios in a few secs...
    Asus says they fixed something with 512 MB PC3200 Ram so I hope this helps...

    You'll hear if it helped
