    Memory problems

    I just got a new be6-2 but when it boots up the memory check does not end and it goes very very slow. Any hints on to what may be the problem?

    I have the same problem with the BF6. I dunno why either. I tried switching RAM, CPU, and the same thing. Maybe this is a bug (or maybe both you and I got a bad one).

    Jopey The ram is plugged in right.

    NightOwl I think it may be a bug because the first few times I ever booted up it worked fine. I guess I will have to learn to live with it.

    No need, I found out that you have to enable "Quick Power on Self Test" in the Advanced BIOS settings. Kind of wierd since i didnt disable it.
