Hi
I am having a problem with a customer i have never seen before
I installed a new Combo drive(ricoh mp920a) on wednesday when i turned on the p.c i had no graphic card fixed that then the memory was only showing as 32mb SDRAM (there was 256mb SDRAM for 3 months no problems)i thought i killed the memory so i got 256 more same prob only saw it as 32mb .So now i have 512mb SDRAM in the p.c and it shows as 64mb.
The system
ECS K7VZA mobo KT133/686B 100mhz fsb
512mb SDRAm p133 (really there is )
Western D 40 GIG drive Primary 1
Fujitsu 4 gig HDD Secondary 1
Ricoh MP9200A primary 2
Relisys 16x DVD rom secondary 2
DV card (disconnected now)
TNT2 32bit Graphics
56k Dial up modem
Creative PCi 512 sound
I have tried allthe following upgrading downgrading BIOS ,Firmware for Ricoh drive.
changing Bios settings .
Cleaning memory
testing Memory in another p.c (it works)
Contacting ECS ha ha ha h aha ha that was funny .
I was all out of ideas so i ran SISoftsSandra just to see .
And it saw my memory eactly right 256 in each slot(memory identify) but in the Mainboard it said i had only 32 in each slot .
So now i am convinced i can make the mobo see the memory but i dont know how .
If anybody has any clue or idea or has seen this before please relpy.
thanks and rgds to anyone who can help .
