Hi,
I have Hp Pavillion 4540 with XP windows on it and i wanted to upgrade this system with 512k RAM stick, but it does not boot whenever i put 512K RAM in. So i figure that my bios has to be upgraded. I get the the Bios flash from HP website and flashed the bios. Now when i put 512K Ram stick in PC, it will not boot(similar as before i flash bios,only this time i can access to CMOS). I can access CMOS setting and there i can see that BIOS recognizes that in bang 2 there is 512k RAM but when i exit,than it do not go futher, stay there, does not load OS and display nothing, blank. After Flashing BIOS i did reset CMOS by taking out battery for 10 sec. When i put back previous RAM sticks that are 128 Mb than PC will boot and work fine.
Any ideas why it still not booting with 512k RAM after flashing bios?...The downloaded bios flash as discribed in Hp website would should take care of 512k RAM issues.
Thank's
