Dell Dimension 4300 Bios A06 i have this mess when i start the pc. Alert: Previous attempt at booting this system have failed at checkpoint vcls memory write/read failure at 1ff9000 read f91ff916 expecting f916f916 memory adress line failure 1ff9000 read f916f916 expecting 06060606. I cant use keyboard or mouse and impossible to do f2 or f12 function!
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
Dell Nvidia GeForce4 MX 420 AGP Video Card
Testimonial: "Thank you for your answer. The last time my PC worked was last week, and it was working with Windows XP professional and I installed the Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits os. The Windows was working but I did not have any Internet connection because I had missing drivers. I tried to install the missing drivers but it has been a fail and at a certain moment my screen froze and I pressed the PC power button. In brief, I tried to reboot and I received those messages at the end. Since then, nothing is working."
It works,i change battery and i put one DDR1 in a slot! Does it mean than the other one is not good anymore?
well we test them all in channel A, 1 at a time if one fails it is bad. DDR1
XP is a virus magnet, that we know, (IT AND ALL DRIVERS ONLINE ARE INFECTED, 99.9%)
the HDD if bad , is I bet it is, omg 21 years old? no OS on earth run on any bad or sick HDD
the HDD if SATA is it? is only a 5 second test, using this tool BELOW, easy
finding drivers for XP now will get you a virus, that is a reality for using 2014 EOL XP, only endless infected drivers now.
so the 20 year coin is dead, will even on the 3rd coin every 7 years it was dead, no magic there,
the OS will; tell you memory data is corrupted on any bad HDD or virus.
all the OS knows is the data is bad. and bad HDD is it.
tell me you are not using A 21 year old IDE (pata 40 PIN RIBBON drive now) those take 3 days to test. horrible. things.
here the sata test.
100% free, safe aND GOOD, AND CHECK VIA, VIRUSTOTAL.COM ME AND THEM)

RUN IT ON ALL SATA DRIVES DIRECT OR PUT DRIVE IN A PC THAT IS GOOD
THE LAST MAN ON XP ON EARTH, WOW, BRAVE/
bad coin bat
bad hdd
infected XP
drivers infected. (in fact the bad stick of ram (false?) may be all these last three the cause )
if I went top goodwill (tm) store and bought 5 pCs like all 5 same thing.
does this PC have the RAM test in BIOS option, if yes this will not lie to you and runs with no hdd at all.
Big thanks again now all is working with 2 DDR1 256 MB each on windows vista ultimate i will make the test you suggested me and i will give you news about this!

Unplug the memory stick/s, reinstall them and see what happens.
