 Member Prof Gumby Posts: 432 | My comp broke down...again. It says it doesn't have enough RAM for anything, (not even for the registry or monitor) but it does detect and scan the 128 mb RDRAM chip that's in there. There is an orange light on on my motherboard, but since I don't usually use the thing without its cover, I don't know how long it has been on. Has anyone had this problem before? (further info: Intel vc820 motherboard, p3 1 GHz, 1 memory bank(or whatever it's called in English) and one continuity module.) ----- If it ain't broken, you're not trying hard enough. |

 Member Dr Gumby Posts: 267 | I'm guessing he meant the system monitor. Try pressing ctrl+alt+del on you xp computer when your back at uni  What on earth is a 'continuity module'? ----- Lets make this a beefy place |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 432 | Mr Creosote: I was imprecise. It didn't have enough system resources for the monitor's driver (or any other driver, since nothing worked) Or so it said. What the REAL problem appears to have been was that the registry was messed up, since when I fixed that, it worked again. I still don't get why it complained about not having enough memory, and not about a broken registry. Some Win ME quirk perhaps? At least it seems to work again now  Breaker: continuity module is loosely translated from the Dutch word "continuïteitsmodule" or the thing you need, if you use RDRAM, to fill up empty memory slots on your motherboard. ----- If it ain't broken, you're not trying hard enough. |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | And what does this "continuïteitsmodule" do? ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Dr Gumby Posts: 267 | I'm guessing its something like a terminator on a SCSI cable (to terminate a singnal). It doesn't do anything except fill up empty spaces so the stuff will work I presume. ----- Lets make this a beefy place |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 432 | Indeed, it's just there to fill up space. RDRAM won't work until all slots are full, either with RDRAM or continuity modules. ----- If it ain't broken, you're not trying hard enough. |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | So basically, it's just a placebo RAM chip. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 432 | Yep! Plus, it's ugly, a lot smaller and not quite so blue as my other chip ----- If it ain't broken, you're not trying hard enough. |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 432 | No actually, I think I bought a case just to put the thing away.  Hmm, I'm spamming and my post count doesn't go up. I think I must log in. ----- If it ain't broken, you're not trying hard enough. |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 432 | Not completely, since I don't watch the member list as I used to, but I'm pretty sure I had 22 posts when I started this topic. Wait, I'll check it for you. ----- If it ain't broken, you're not trying hard enough. |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 432 | Okay, my mistake. I must have been sleeping. I tested it in the "dummy topic" and my post count goes up. Sorry... ----- If it ain't broken, you're not trying hard enough. |
