[nikku_hot123]

hi guys.. suddenly my motherboard has stopped accepting
ram more than 256mb. whenever i am putting 1gb ram it
starts beeping continuously and not booting. i have checked
my ram in another system its ok, i have also checked my
ram ports both are working fine with 256mb ram. Please help
my config is
intel p4 (HT)
Intel origional GC101 motherboard
abacus zion 1 gb and 256 mb ram

DDR2 DDR what is he RAM, P4 support DDR and not DDR2, hence upgrading RAM wille a prob. Also older mobos not all will support 1 GB RAM sticks. run cpu-z to get the info about mobo make and try to put the info here.

do a google for CPU-z it is very simple app

It is DDR ram it was working quite well. But suddenly it stopped working, on same mother board and same ram.

Try inserting it into another machine to see if it works there. If is does not work out there, then you might have a faulty RAM stick. Also, try inserting it into another RAM slot to see if the slot is faulty.

Possibly BIOS limitation. You can't do much about it.

I tried in another system it's working fine. My both Ports of motherboard are ok as 256 mb ram is running in both Ports. 1 month back it was working properly so i don't think it's a bios limitation

Did you flash the BIOS ??

If not first reset it with jumper and then use the Intel Flasher to flash and update it with a new BIOS ROM..

You may download the latest BIOS and Flashing tools from here, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/defa...+dnlds_drivers

I have also updated bios no luck there.

Ok, then it looks like memory controller problem. Sadly, you can't do much about it.
