    Hello
    I have a HP Brio and the motherboard on it and i saw a warning during POST, it said
    WARNING YOU HAVE 100 MHZ MEMORY THIS CAN DEGRADE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.
    Then the computer restarted.
    What can i do?

    -----------------
    Specs.
    Intel P3 800EB Mhz Processor
    Award BIOS ver 08/26/2000
    Unknown Model. Ill check for that.

    The mobo model and memory information would help Marty. I haven't used an HP system in years but do remember the one I had took a special type of ram it was expensive.

    Not really sure what this message is telling you .... has the memory speed been set to low in BIOS it should auto detect :think:

    800EB is a 133MHz processor. I'm not sure how the 100MHz RAM get in there. Did you 'upgrade' the RAM?

    OH YES
    -128MB of SDRAM PC133
    -But the Model and the Manufacturer is still specifying.
    -But what is this setting in the bios "Memory hole at 15M-16M" that can be found at the Advanced Menu of the CMOS using Award BIOS.

    Yes, both 133Mhz 64MB of SDRAM.

    Either the RAM is lying or the motherboard is lying. You have to find out the reason. Or maybe the motherboard can't take 2 modules running at 133MHz. I'm not sure.

    I'll try BIOS Update but one thing "How to boot using a USB Flash drive"
    But before that, I have 2 processors One is 600 MHZ P3 that i put in the mobo, but that is not the Original Processor and the Warning didnt appear, that since the 800 Mhz Pro. is not working. Now the 800 MHZ is working, then after changing RAMS this Error came and then the Motherboard restarts unexpectedly. I tried to reset defaults and reset anything and change RAMS then it didnt change.
    What can I do to fix this problem.

    Ok I got it, One of the RAMS has 100MHZ so i changed it with the PC133.:D

    But the problem is that i restarts unexpectedly.:confused:
    What can i do to fix this problem.

    Does this restart problem also occur with the 600MHz CPU ?

    You mentioned the 800MHz CPU wasn't working then it was ...

    Hmm.. When you remounted the processor, did you reapply the thermal paste and properly mount the cooler?

    Yes it also happend it takes a long time like 3 to 5 minutes with the 600Mhz Processor but with the 800Mhz Pro. it restarts unexpectedly and the model of the Motherboard is this (look at the attachment)

    Still sounds like a chipset or ram issue :think:

    On the Mobo looks like its made by MSI I googled "motherboard 686a-6a6llf09c" you may try as well. I dont have time to go through this tonight but look through yourself you may find a manual for it.
