| 884636 | 2010-05-14 00:23:00 | nothing shows up after that, no link either | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 884637 | 2010-05-14 00:26:00 | Why not find your Vista CD or borrow one and install Vista on the bigger Hard drive. Then slave the current 40 Gig drive and copy the data off? | Sweep (90) | ||
| 884638 | 2010-05-14 00:31:00 | i know thats a good idea but installing vista on 768mb ram is time consuming, and i will have to wait utill mum gets back as shes buying me a new cmos battery, i gave her one so she knows what to get. at the moment my pc dosent restart and it dosent save bios settings so i cant get it to boot of a cd. or sometimes after i turn pc back on after having to power it down cos of it trying to restart i get a message saying AWARD boot blocker Cmos checksum erorr INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER |

| 884639 | 2010-05-14 00:41:00 | I think you need to take it to someone who knows what theyre doing. Installing Vista isnt the prob, its installing the service packs after that take longer. It sounds like its trying to boot from something that isnt bootable or isnt connected. Wait for the battery | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 884640 | 2010-05-14 00:49:00 | yeah. it was running fine tho thats the weird thing. im always being carful and i do maintenance to make sure it works. i recently updated to service pack 2 (ah, could this be the problem). im always making sure the inside of the box is clean. i would have more RAM but i only have 1 512mb stick. my motherboard only has 2 slots. if it had a 3rd i would have 1gb (2x 256mb sticks). my dad has a 1gb stick in his pc. dont know why he needs it when he's running xp pro. he has all this stuff that he dosent need. any good ddr400 Ram brands? im looking on trade me. i dont want cheap tho, i wont at least middle range, used or unused, and relitivly cheap | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 884641 | 2010-05-14 01:00:00 | So if you have just 1 512 meg how come you have 768 megs RAM showing up? Or do you actually have 1 x 512 + 1 x 256 which would make more sense. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 884642 | 2010-05-14 01:01:00 | Sounds like he's got 768 but has a spare 512mb stick. But cant use it since there's only 2 slots | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 884643 | 2010-05-14 01:04:00 | i have 1 512mb ram stick and 1 256 ram stick | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 884644 | 2010-05-14 01:05:00 | He has 1x 512 and 2x 256, but with only 2 slots, the best combination of these he cna get is 1xx 512 and 1x 256 installed, for a total of 768MB. Did this issue occur immediately after installing SP2? |
