"Memory test fail" message at start up?
« on: January 01, 2006, 12:54:09 PM »
Upon initial boot up, I get this message, which stops things cold. I have to then hit F1 to continue the boot up process, and get to the Win95 desktop. My pc has 32RAM. My 8 yr old PC hasn't been doing well since the memory test fail message has been appear upon itinial start up. Big problem? Time to scrap it? Tips? Thanks.
