Re: PC only boots if I disable CPU cache

well there are rules that a motherboard manufacter will post regarding what slots can have memory in them while others are populated. if you have your manual, you will probably see some kind of graph about SS and DS single side/double sided. perhaps you put your memory back in different slots?

Although they all work if placed individually in slot 1.

What caused this ? - I have no idea. Anyway thank you for your help.
