Memory install - CRC error - System Halted
I just bought 512MB DDR RAM for my machine (it can take up to 2GB, PC2100, 266MHz RAM and I checked it would work with it). Problem is, I boot up and get: CRC error - System Halted It then doesn't boot. However, if I replace the 512MB RAM with the 256MB (alone) the system came with, it boots up EVERY time. Now, I've tried 3 (yes 3) different lots of 512MB memory with this machine and none have worked... In fact, 2 have died trying to work this out... Any ideas?

Check your BIOS for an ECC memory parameter and disable. It sounds like your BIOS is et up for ECC memory (8 data bits plus one for CRC check), and your memory is non ECC (only 8 data bits).
