So my system has been crashing about every fourteen days for the past
two months. Today, it happened again, so I took the advice of many and
checked my RAM. I have two sticks of 256M DDR PC2100. Let's call them
a and b, with a in the first bank and b in the second. Here's what
happened.
1. BIOS error.
2. Took out b, started nicely.
3. Put b back in, BIOS error
4. Took b out, started nicely
5. Put b back in, BIOS error.
6. Switched a and b (so both are in now, but b is in the first bank and
a is in the second). Now it starts up normally.
What I'm wondering is if I fixed my problem by switching the RAM to the
other bank.
