Repeated failure to load Windows 7 HP

The Foxconn P9657AA-8EKRS2H motherboard has a LGA 775 Socket. It will support Intel Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Extreme, and Core 2 Duo processors with an FSB of 1066 (800MHz). Thus is should support the dual core 775 processors. (Some Pentium 4, Pentium D and Celeron D CPUs may also be compatible with the board.)

I hope this helps.

I love ram questions, (not easy)\
1

.5

-------------
3 GB

my guess is your windows XP virus magnet is stuffed
XP is a dead OS, and has Zero support.
not does HP support it.

so what to do.
well its super easy.
1: boot to a linux live CD or stick
if linux likes it , your XP is hosed, like all are now,hopeless.!

if linux does not like the mem. then you bought the wrong ram.

try to know that BIOS does not get the final call on good mem
all it does really is PnP the spid chip there asking what i is.
and then passes that INFO data to windows.
did you run BIOS memory test? it too is crude,
in the end only a running good windows proves any memory is good. for sure loading a huge photo shop say 5 times.

the new sticks must be 240 pin, DDR2 SDRAM
PC2-3200 MB/sec (minimum)
the must match your CPU,
the Pentium D is old.
and many memory makers do not make ram to fit old CPUs.
2005 PC,a tad old no?
the best place to get it is Kingston or Crucial.
did you? or buy fleabay crapppppp


questions did you run the PC with just 1 , 1GB stick
if that fails and beeps like made the sticks are no good.
then next 1GB stick alone, beeps again, dead pC>
yup wrong DDR2.

the Intel chip you must make happy is the i945p
at its clock rates (called speed)
do look on kingston .com first.
m7350 seem there oldest one. in this line of HP PC.
good luck finding good memory.

sad how, how fixya AI guessing wrong??? pathetic, mess....
wow a very old media center, gen 2 of 14 or so.
HP does not support this quote
HP Media Center m1070n Desktop PC,its RETIRED now
https://support.hp.com/us-en/retired-products


The BIOS does not do that!
what HP, it has full name and model.
the MMC controls this, and is very strict. (mem-managment controller)
the memory you are buying is no good. for YOUR PC.
this is so very common
and worse every year,
ever heard of Crucial or Kingston memory
they can fit up memory for you, it very complex.
not just DMM1, 2,3, but speed, min.
density rules.
chip count rules
chip voltage, 1.3. 1.5 or both or?
Total memory max allowed and PER SOCKET !
and even number of chips per side of stick , rule.
that worst was intel i5 old processors.
those are facts, and only the exact motherboard you have a
and what processor is there, (and if mmc is external to processor that)
matter.
? this?
M1070n

finding data on such and old box.
is not easy but google can dig up bits.
why not ask Kingston? for help,.

key facts are, (besides old)
HP Media Center m1070n Desktop PC
Intel Pentium 4 520 / 2.8 GHz
Intel 915P Express (my guess, mmc is inside here)
oops

• 512 MB / 4 GB (max)
• Memory Speed 400 MHz
• Memory Specification Compliance
  PC3200
• Features
  unbuffered
• Configuration Features
  2 x 256 MB
• Technology
  DDR SDRAM
• Installed Size
  512 MB
• Data Integrity Check
  non-ECC
  
• 4 GB
• Form Factor

looks like 1GB max per slot , 1 to 4.
good luck finding SDRAM in 2017 that works.

why not find a newer box? (pc) say 2010 or newer.,
they will run better and can buy ram easy
vastly better.... even Goodwill has them for few bucks
or this.

Good day,
According to Intel 945G chipset supports Celeron D up to Core2Duo. Intel Gigabyte's 945 DS3 even supports up to Core2Quad. GByte Foxconn has 3 mobo bios from there site. Foxconn
According to their date: Latest to oldest
4BFF1P56 No Version 4BFF1P40
Have you tried installing the no version bios? In my experience some latest bios have some problems with other devices so try to use the no version bios. or try a different mobo bios with the same chipset from Foxconn. below are two foxconn mobo models i can't see the difference.
945G7MA-8EKRS2 945G7MA-8EKRS2H
Update at your own risk..
hope this helps, thanks for posting.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND I RESOLVE IT CHANGIN A BULGING CAPACITOR NEAR THE PROCESSOR

The video chip from your motherboard is way too old for 7, it's so old that it was too weak even for XP.
You need to add a recent video card.

CLEAR THE BIOS THEN CHECK

check your front panel usb connectors
OR usb drivers are not installed properly
