When my PC boots up, just below the system info box (showing drive details etc)a warning message appears; Warning, SPD not found at rows 1 & 2. I assume this it has to do with my RAM but have never heard of SPD before. It doesn't seem to have anyadverse affect as all runs smoothly. Anyone ever heard of SPD or know what it abbreviates?

Curious.

SPD (Serial Presence Detect) An EEPROM chip on a DIMM module that stores information about the memory chips it contains, including size, speed, voltage, row and column addresses and manufacturer. Maybe the EEPROM Chips are bad.

Try checking in your BIOS and look to see if the machine is being told to look for parity ram. It sounds like the machine is being told to look for parity ram and you are using non-parity memory.
