Hi Jim, I booted the computer using the Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic and it passed with 5 runs and no errors. I think current memory is probably good. I still may consider upgrading RAM anyways in order to try 512MBs. I am still stumped on DX8 and DX9 BSOD during dxdiag for nv4_Idisp.dll with...

Hi Jim, I really appreciate your help with this. Good news is that I found a folder with PDF for the motherboard manual. Good news is that I can indeed have up to 512MBs RAM using 2 256MB SDRAM.

Hi Jim, I will try slowing down the memory. Perhaps I will try some new RAM as recommended. I don't think my motherboard accepts more than 256MB. Unfortunately, I don't have the motherboard manual to verify and the web site for FIC requires UserID and password. I do have some old web pages printed o...

Hi Jim,

I will check out the RAM sometime today to see what I have in there. Also, do you have recommended BIOS settings?

FIC VA-503+ revisted

Bad thing is that FIC now requires a userID and password to get any info on legacy hardware. I am using an updated BIOS from eSupport.com, hav...
