I think it is bad memory. What kind of memory do you have?

If it's a 3000+ pro, it's soldered on the board.

I cant do a memory test untill i get into windows.... but my memory is A res ddr 266 256mb... oh yea my mobo is a pc chip m825Lu. and I know that it is soldered but i want to know if there is any way to get the proscesser off.... I really think its a bois problem but like i said ive cleared cmos bios and tried different settings. Please somebody help!! If i can get the prosseser off without bending the pins i can use it still on a diffent mobo.

You can't remove that CPU; don't try. Go to that memtest website I linked to earlier and download the software. Extract it to a bootable floppy disk, boot into DOS, and run the tests. The instructions are all there on that website.

Definitely check the model of your PC Chips board and determine if the AMD CPU is a "Pro" or "A" model. If it's either, then it's soldered to the board and can not be removed. Don't try.

Download memtest86 using another computer and put it on a floppy. You then boot your system with this floppy and let it test the heck out of your memory... I usually let it run overnight when possible. If it passes, great.

If you've cleared your BIOS and the system still won't boot you could always try reinstalling that version or a newer version. Visit PC Chips' website for the BIOS file and flash utility.

How exactly did you clear the CMOS?
