In Xp installation, it does the following: AMIBIOS(C)2003 American Megatrends, Inc. ASUS 'K8N' ACPI BIOS Revision 1004 CPU : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2800+ DDR Frequency = 400 MHz Entering SETUP ... Press <F8> for BBS POPUP Checking NVRAM.. Initializing USB Controllers ..

Chassis intruded ! Fatal Error... System Halted. -- The BIOS beeps one short, which stands for DRAM refresh failure. "Explanation: The system is having a problem accessing the system memory to refresh it. Refreshing is done on all system memory to keep its contents active. Diagnosis: This code usually means a problem either with the system memory or with the motherboard itself." --- So, how to fix such problem? Thanks in advance.
in the bios enable the system defaults to see if that corrects the problem. can also remove the ram sticks & use a pencil eraser on the gold contacts on the ram to see if it corrects the problem.
how many sticks of ram is installed in the computer?? try clearing the cmos to see if it corrects the problem
CMOS cleared and I can change the settings to default and it corrects the problem, yet when I restard the computer, after Auto-Detecting the usb mass storage devices and others, it just goes to BIOS, and I haven't even touched the delete button. So no chassis errors now, but it always goes to BIOS when I startup the computer. There is an XP cd in the cd-rom, but why doesn't it continue the installation?
