Hi…I am new at this site, but hope you can help me….

I am trying to upgrade the RAM memory of my PIII from 128 to 256 or 512 MB. I inserted Hynix SDRAM 133 MHZ memory (started with 2X256 MB, after failing also tried 1 x 256 MB). The system boots normally, recognizes the RAM and shows the wallpaper. After that I get the blue screen of death with different error messages. One is IRQ IS LESS OR EQUAL THAN, an other one is MEMORY related. The system then reboots and goes into the same cycle. Below is some info on my motherboard…what am I missing???


Many thanx!

Knikker.

My guess is your mobo doesn't like your ram. It will probably test fine in one mobo and run poorly in yours. Can you return it for another brand?
