System will not power on

From the Intel spec sheet 4GB is supported:
The boards have four DIMM sockets and support the following memory features: • 2.5 V (only) DDR SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts • Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organization are not supported. • 4 GB maximum total system memory. Refer to Section 2.2.1 on page 55 for information on the total amount of addressable memory. • Minimum total system memory: 128 MB • Non-ECC DIMMs • Serial Presence Detect • DDR 400 MHz and DDR 333 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
If this answers your question, I'd appreciate 4 thumbs. I do this for fun and do not get paid.

this is what asus says:

Latest P4 CPU Support
The latest P4S533-E motherboard supports Socket 478 Intel® P4 processors, which utilize the most advanced 0.13um process technology to provide frequencies up to 2.53GHz

According to PCChips, the maximum CPU & memory supported for all three is the Intel P4 Northwood (HT) 3.06 GHz 512K,533FSB,Socket 478 and 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 266.

Be sure you have the latest BIOS version for your motherbaord.

M925ALU (V7.3) must have BIOS : 030703s
M925G (V8.0) and M925G (V9.1b) must have BIOS : 050510s

Hope this helps you out.

you can use intel dg41 mbd , dualcore processor,1 gb ram,160 gb hdd or use intel atom for support contact 91-9645071021

it is the problem your computer operating system or motherboard bios setup problem . You restart your pc after restart then press dell key then prevew your bios setup option then choice bios defalt setup then press F10 press Y restart your pc .

It may take the site a little while to load.
Another window will open & you'll need to click the drop down button & click on your operating system. Than click the Search button.
Click the + sign next to VGA.
The drivers for a windows XP operating system differ from a Vist operating system. Create a new folder on your desktop & name it Video. Downlooad the driver into the Video folder.

Good luck!

It is absolutely normal if the processors speed and multiplier fluctuates. It doesn't mean that the processor is damaged. This technology is called Intel Speedstep. When your processor is not used on 100% it reduces its speed, so the power consumption decreases. When you need more power, the processor will automatically clock itself to higher speed.

for more information check here.

If you want to turn off this feature, you have to do it in your motherboards bios. You can find it in advanced ---> cpu settings ---> Intel Speedstep, you have to choose Disabled.

Thats all

The motherboard you mentioned supports DDR1 RAM.

For windows xp and general application 512 MB is enough.
But if you use memory intensive applications like image/video editing then you can opt for 1-2 GB RAM.

You can use only DDR 266Mhz dimms maximum upto 2 GB. i.e. one DIMMS of 266Mhz of 2GB or two of 1GB each. For more details read bellow:


System Memory Features

• The D845GBV board provide the following memory features:
• 
  Two DIMM sockets supporting 2.5 V (only) 184-pin 200/266 MHz Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
  Unbuffered non-ECC DIMMs only
  Maximum total system memory: 2 GB; minimum total system memory: 64 MB
  Serial Presence Detect (SPD) DIMMs only
  Suspend to RAM
• 
  CAUTION:
  Do not use ECC DIMMs with the D845GBV board. Using ECC DIMMs could damage the Desktop Board.

No. DDR replaced the SD in RAM so SDRAM and DDR RAM are two completely different things but each ram type has its own frequency hence you get SDRAM 100(mhz) and SDRAM 133(Mhz) just like you get DDR 1 RAM at 266(mhz) and 400(mhz) and DDR 2 RAM at 533(mhz) and 800(mhz). Therefore as you can see how these things differ, but if your mboard takes SDRAM that it can take and frequency of SDRAM but you must ensure that all the frequencies of all your RAM modules in all your slots correspond otherwise you will have problems, meaning that if you decide to use 133mhz RAM then all your RAM modules that you use must be the same. Let me know how you go. thanks
