The next thing to go wrong in my ongoing torture that I vaguely recognise as some semblance of a life.
Laptop gone on the blink. Memtest indicates the memory is naffed. PC2 5300S 1GB.
Ho hum. Off to the PC World shop. They don't have what I reserved so offer me some PC2 6400 which should "clock down". Nope.
So they then find some dearer 5300 ram. Install. Nope. Nada. Nichts. Zip. Diddly.
Put the old "partially buggered" ram in and it boots up fine.
Question to the panel.
Why?
