I am building a PC. I dont have much cash, so I purchased a biostar N68S3+ , a AMD Sempron145 processor and 4GB (2X2gb) GSKILL Ram. I installed this in a old emachine case. It has a 160gb EIDE hard drive (temporary) till I can afford a larger sata. running windows xp home 32bit. When I boot the system a window pops up for a few seconds showing it is recognizing everything, then it goes to screen and says windows will start normaly in like 19 seconds. after the count down screen goes dark a few seconds then goes back to first screen where it is recognizing everything again, then back to windows will start normally in so many sec. I tried this a couple of times and also got message CMOS checksum bad and one time I received a message DQS training failed on previous boot revert to slower dram speed. ( I dont know how to revert lower ram speed)
