RAM speeds and BIOS

[Kassela]

Hey all!

I have too questions for you guys. First;

- I recently built my first PC and everything went great. But, when I boot up my PC it goes to a screen where it asks me if I want to go into the BIOS (Delete) or Bypass by hitting F1...Not that this is causing any serious problems, it's just a tad annoying.. Anyone know a solution(s)?

- In my rig I have I have "Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 PC2-8500 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15 Dual Channel Memory" obviously @ 1066 mhz... but in the BIOS it is only @ 800 mhz and I want to run the RAM at their fullest potential... Can I get some help on changing this also?

Thanks in Advance.

Going to need a little more information on your system........

Motherboard, cpu, etc....... :)

Usually this message means that the computer is unstable, and it is asking the user to enter the BIOS to modify the settings in order to stabilize it.

Go into Bios at main screen hit CTRL+F1 to get into tweakers menu and setup your ram properly.

Thats probably due to you not having your ram or cpu set to spec properly.

enaberif and I have answered you - this message is due to computer instability, and enaberif told you to adjust in the BIOS the Ram settings. That should do it.

Thanks

So I figured out how to change my RAM speed, but I still couldn't figure out the BOOT problem.. Any advice?

Sorry for lack of knowledge in the BIOS dept.
