OKEY DOKEY! Thanks fellas! But the verifying dmi thing is now at a consistant 11 seconds. IDK why. I am going to un do my RAM adjustments, just to test, and see if it helps. Be back lata if I need more help.
Thanks,
Kagaos

I'm just not helping at all today

Now this may not make any difference but try swapping your ram sticks about in different slots.

 

[cyrixMII300]

yes as the man says swap ur ram to different slots...and another thing run memtest on it...might indicate if u have a ram problem...but remember that patriot has a lot of tweaking to do b4 its actually stable but when it happens it is a sweet girl...

also to beserk...it happens to the best of us and u r trying in any case...

 

[kagaos]

Ok, well I got that pretty much sorted out. Now, I was looking at my BIOS, and I noticed hammer fid, what is that? What value would be the best to set it at?

 

[kagaos]

OH, by the way, I ran CPUz and it said that I had one ram in slot one, and the other in slot 3. But they are both in slots right next to eachother, I have 4 slots (2 pairs) they are in one pair. Any thoughts?

 

[ENTERPRISE]

Well if you are not overclocking it leave it at default or the value it is at now. Anyways good luck mate..im off to my bed lol

 

[cyrixMII300]

i m sorry mate..checking to bed now will try to be more specific tomorrow...but check ur mobo and see if the slots are numbered 1 & 3 as in the slots where the rams are plugged in right now...otherwise u might have to reseat them accordingly..usually dual channel rams must be physically plugged in into either slot 1 & 3 or slots 2 & 4....check the physical numbering on mobo or check ur manual to see the number

 

[kagaos]

OK...let me start ALL OVER.
When I first built my system, and started it up, after the main boot screen, it would show verifying DMI pool data. And it would show it so fast that you bearly had time to read it. (like .5 seconds). Now however, when I start up, "DMI pool data" stays on for like 11 seconds. What in the world could be the problem?
And to answer some past questions, this is how my memory is layed out according to my mobo "---" is ram slot
--------------------- <DIMM B1> Orange I am using this one.
--------------------- <DIMM B2> Green
--------------------- <DIMM A1> Orange And I am using this one.
--------------------- <DIMM A2> Green

What ones should I use?

 

[cyrixMII300]

ttry swapping both rams to the green slots and check if there is a difference...

but i think there wont be coz i feel it is some other hardware prob... but try it anyway

 

[kagaos]

Nope, that didn't work at all. Any other suggestions?

 

[kagaos]

Could It be because I don't have a floppy drive installed?

 

[cyrixMII300]

did u install any new hardware? also maybe u want to unplug everything n plug them in back again....everything the ram, drives, display card ....everything.....or have i suggested that b4?

 

[kagaos]

No, i don't believe you suggested that before, but what good would that do?

 

[cyrixMII300]

clown....

i am sorry couldnt help myself....plug in the fdd again....that WILL DEFINITELY solve the problem... i bet my a** on it...

either that or go into ur bios and disable the fdd search option...

also u should have something which says halt on error.. select halt on none

 

[kagaos]

WOW ok thanks! I will try that. BRB!

 

[kagaos]

OMG THANK YOU! IT WORKED! That is definatly worth a rep!

 

[cyrixMII300]

u r welcome....

i m really very happy 4 u

Disable both the Internal and External CPU Cache. These features are located in either the "BIOS Features" or "Advanced Settings" options of the BIOS Setup.
NOTE: Consult the System or Motherboard User's Manual for exact location of the Internal and External CPU Cache settings.
Save the BIOS changes and restart the PC to a System Boot Diskette. On startup, the screen should read:
Verifying DMI Pool Data
Update Successful
The system should continue booting normally.

After the system successfully boots, re-start the PC and access the system BIOS.
Enable the External CPU Cache. This feature is located in the "BIOS Features" or "Advanced Settings".
NOTE: Consult the System or Motherboard User's Manual for exact location of the External CPU Cache setting.
! WARNING ! User's MUST re-enable this feature after resolving the problem for optimal system performance.
Save the BIOS changes and restart the PC to a System Boot Diskette. On startup, the screen should read:

The system should continue booting normally.

NOTE: If the aforementioned methods fail to resolve the issue, contact the system or motherboard manufacturer to either clear the CMOS or flash update the BIOS for your motherboard. This will entail either:

Removing the "Clear CMOS" Jumper and resetting the system BIOS; or.
Obtaining and applying a Flash BIOS Upgrade for your motherboard.
