Yes same with me. After installing the Intel BIOS to support my processor upgrade I started to receive the same "AA" Number Error.

I have a Gateway gt5464 and I installed 2 (Patriot Signature 1024MB PC4200 DDR2 533MHz) and it keeps on crashing every now and again. Would this topic apply to me?

@ dualcoreseb

I would run a memory diagnostic program first to check your system for errors before I barked up this bios tree!

here is the memory testing utility

http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

install only one stick of memory in the slot closest to the cpu then run the memtest for atleast two hours

Yeah i did that but i had both sticks in so i'll try one at a time, thanks.

dualcoreseb · 06-16-2008, 07:52 PM

I have a similar problem, I have 50 new Dell PC's that I need to setup with 1 of 4 different CMOS settings. 5 fo one kind, 13 of another, 28, ect you get the idea. I want to find a way to setup one and save the CMOS settings to disk and flash the settings on a fresh PC. I do not want to change the BIOS just the CMOS settings. I dont want to set and do each one, one at a time. Too many chances for errors. Can anyone help

Tossing imho, subject explanation flashing branded PC bios w/manufactures bio's in most cases renders your recovery disks unusable..

If you bad flash a lappy your asking for double troubles.

If your patient you can email branded vendors often times there might exist a later version bios than posted on the vendors website they will email you the bios.

If your flashing branded PC's with manufactures bio's for the intention of overclocking then branded PC's are not for you.. suggest you build your own!
