I may have mentioned before I left stuff in storage and then I had problems with all of it.
I hate to keep begging for help, but what can I do.
One of the machines, had 2 1gb sticks of DDR3, booted with a CMOS error no matter how many times I enter and save the date. VP said update the bios but my mobo is discontinued and I somehow have a more recent version installed.
1- I purchased more ram, ddr3 at the same speed, by a good make. The PC doesn't give me the bios 'ram has changed in size' question, just goes into a repair mode boot loop that win 10 can do. I managed to switch off repair mode but it frankensteins, just happens again.
I've tried each stick one at a time, both brand new sticks cause the boot loop, made worse by the CMOS errors.
I tried the Crucial system scan they seem to recommend UDIMM for some reason.
Should I return the ram, because I've never come across this before. I am an idiot, though, that's a given.
2. If the bios version available is older, should I flash that seeing as my current one seems corrupt? Replaced with new batteries twice, makes no difference.
Thanks in advance if anyone tries to help
