This is no lie! I am working on a computer, cleaning it inside and out, and upgrading. One of the first things I did was to plug it in and power it up to see if everything was alright, it’s a donated machine that has an older (obsolete) Slot A design. It worked fine until brought it home. When I powered it up again I gave me 3 distict POST beeps. Acording to BIOS codes for AMI BIOS it is a failure in the Base 64K of memory. I removed the memory and tried rearanging it. Here is were this get VERY INTERESTING! The modules would not fit all the way into the slots. One end or the other would fully engage the hold down clip, but the other end resisted to pressure too much. According to the manufacturer’s specs (which I had to get online – thankfully) it is the correct type; 3.3v, Unbuffered. What is the problem?!?!
