Ty this in secuence:
1. open the box, find JBAT1 jumper (usually near to a battery) it must be in pins 1 and 2, put it in pins 2,3 and then back to 1,2
2. Boot the machine, enter BIOS, load "optimized defaults" or "setup defaults if "optimized defaults" do not exist.
3. Boot the system again.
share your findings.
This procedure is to "clear CMOS". Note that not all motherboards use jumpers; for some the method is to remove the battery (10 seconds will do). Furthermore, note any important bios configuration changes you may have made; these will be lost when you return the bios to its defaults.
Re video memory, 2 things: At the grub menu hit Escape to drop the menu to text, highlight the menu entry, hit 'e' to edit it, and then remove everything on the kernel line except for the "root= . . . . " statement. Then add "edd=off".
Some bios's include a memory check (not like memtest, but better than its simply reading the stick's SPD). The setting will be somewhere in the bios setup utiltity.
You might also try swapping the sticks between the slots. And if the board supports dual-channel, make sure the sticks are installed accordingly. There are older bios's that even have a jumper to enable this.
The failsafe option already has that edd=off parameter. Anyway I tried it again removing all excepting the root part. This doesn't change anything. I tried to find something else at BIOS settings with no success. Also tried the "Load Default Settings" option with same results. -- Hernán Thiers García Estudiante de Ingeniería en Informática / I.T.
