Memory errors might stop system operations, show error messages on the screen, or hang the system.
Use the following procedure to isolate memory problems.
Note:
Make sure that the DIMM is fully installed into the connector. A loose connection can cause an error.
1. Power off the computer and remove the DIMM from its slot (if installed).
2. Press and hold the F1 key; then power on the computer. Hold the F1 key down until the Easy-Setup screen appears.
3. Select Test and press Enter.
4. Select Memory and press Enter to run the memory test on base memory. If an error appears, replace the system board.
5. Power off the computer and reinstall the DIMM; then power on the computer. Verify the memory size; then test the memory. If an error appears, replace the DIMM.
If memory problems occur intermittently, use the loop option to repeat the test. When the test detects an error, an error log is printed on the printer connected to the parallel port. See ¨Error Log´ for more information.
