I have a REAL old PC, Aptiva 310. When I start it I get "164 memory size error, press enter to run Config utilities" I do not know what to do next. If I bypass message I can only start the PC in Safe Mode. When I attempt "Normal" it shuts down.

Any Takers?

I found this link http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/compaq/faq/comppost.htm

It appears that the Number 164 is a code for a certain type of error, which for you is Memory size error ~

while in safe mode, try and turn off some programs that are in startup. An old program that is installed is using up all your memory upon startup..

That is what i'm throwing out to get you started...
