CF-73 memory
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2020 10:29 pm
Hi guys,
First time posting! I have a 73 X that for years has been my workhorse. A couple of years ago it started showing 100% CPU at odd times. I traced the offending process to Windows Update, and disabled it, but 100% CPU kept showing up, then other sw packages stopped working. Recently, the unit had trouble booting, then stopped completely. I ran diags from a CD and memory came back as 99% bad, which makes sense. I purchased a 2GB module and installed, and the unit would not boot, but POST reported that the 2GB was recognized and operating, and that "Standard Memory" at 30-FF had failed. Does anyone know where standard memory is located? I dissy'd the unit and found another memory card holder under the back panel, not accessible without opening the unit. I think the second memory card holder is video RAM, and is 64MB, but I am not sure. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and peace!
Joe
