Problems with additional RAM aand NIC
X posted. 2nd attempt as the first time I left the header off and it hasn't
appeared! I recently purchased additional RAM for my system. The existing was 2x256k and for the remaining slot I bought 512k.(All the same spec/supplier/manufacturer). The system has been stable for some time so I added the vcache 512000 entry into the system.ini and let that run with no problems for a couple of days. I then added the 512k RAM which the Award BIOS recognised and dealt with. Unfortunately, I then realised that there was no Internet access. The 2091 router saw the PC power up but no data sent to line. Checks on the system revealed a problem with the VIA Rhine II fast Ethernet adapter. Now try as I might with reloads of software from the ASUS and Windows CDs, I couldn't get the NIC to be accepted by Windows. Even turning the LAN off and on in the BIOS was recognised by Windows but did not resolve the problem. Finally I powered off, removed the additional RAM (no difference) and then restored a previous version of the Registry and hey presto all OK. Question was I just unlucky or is there a tie in between the additional RAM and the Rhine adapter? Alan |
