Serial Presence Detect Device Missing or inconclusive?!?

[shamrock]

hi,

I've turned my computer on, and at the start up, it told me:
serial presence detect (SPD) device missing or inconclusive.

properly programmed SPD device is required for reliable operation.

do you wish to attemp to boot? Y / N (shut down)

-----------------

what does this mean?!


I pressed on Y, then my computer continued to load windows,
and when I restarted my computer, the problem didn't appear anymore, and the time in my computer changed into 00:00

are there any other effects?

what is this problem exactly?


thanks!

seems like a memory and motherboard conflict.

Well, the SPD is the device on the memory module which "tells" the motherboard which settings to use (i.e.: CL2/3, PC100/133...)...

Maybe you should check if you edited any settings in that department....

Or maybe a ram-module is busted, visit www.memtest86.org and download the latest test-disc from there....boot with it and let it check your ram....
