jacker same PC?
the coin cell battery RTC is dead, and can not be ignored like that ever.
Dell Dimension 4300 Bios A06 Intel 845 chipset relic. P4 (400hz /2Ghz max)
not told by all, buy a dead PC did you?, or dumpster dived it ??
when did PC laST RUN Perfectly not told, at all, wow, history ZERO 000000000
F9xxxxxxxxx is firmware, above F8xxxxxxxxxx
or failed out of the blue and casing never opened by you? (messed with)
rules of RAM, DDR.
a 2001, (no typo) relic and useless PC for sure. no modern OS runs here.!!!!
those are POST errors for DDR1 banks.
2 slots of ram. DDR1 old
not new with
******* high density ram.
test them 1 by 1 , at a time in bank 0, channel A slot????????
512 MB max per slot, so , 2 slots are 1GB max. per the manual I read to you
PC133 (non-ECC or ECC) and not Registered, RAM, SDRAM only , buffered.
the ram must be in matched sets, same SKU means same exact P/N#
intel and dell told you that and MMC is intels chip.
The bios must like any ram you buy, MUST.
this mobo has 4 LED panel for 4 bit binary POST errors what does the 4 LED codes show. 4 yellow is bad bios, means cannot finish POST
and more. in the free manual
this relic has no VGA port on mobo at all
that means only a PCI video card is allowed, to get video
that means it can fail when it tries to steal, VRAM from DDR1 bank.
sure can , try other VGA cArd? oops wrong this PC has AGP slot and we all know from 2001 year 1/2 the AGP 4x cards made do not work here, only DELLs list , work.
4x/2x modes at 1.5 V , using 3.3v AGP card will blow up(smoke)
some dual voltage cards do work but only in DELLS LIST 32bit only.
we all hated AGP then , it is a huge horror. then.
PCI video works better. try one for $5 used, PCI not PCI-express does not fit here.
as you can see I can not see your PC and all things connected
no what VGA card you have exactly and matters first. VRAM issues.
reading old dell form real posts at dell
1. 6200 nVidia AGP for basic work, light low level settings in games.
2. 6600 nVidia AGP for mid to low end gaming.
3. 6600 GT AGP, good over all lower mid level card for gaming, that would be my least choice for your system.
4. 7600 GS AGP, for lower mid level gaming
5. 7600 GT AGP, for a good over all card for your system and power supply.
do not attempt OC, overclocking or it will fail
this $9 at flea bay, 10 times PCs value. 21 years old
