what kind of memory in the two sdram slots of the 5IGM(1)?

Hello,

My youngest son has a very old computer, it's a Chaintech 5IGM(1) with
4 simm slots and 2 sdram dimm slots. Chaintech's site only speaks
about fastpage and edoram but fastpage and edo are -as far as i know-
not sdram. There was a 32MB ram module in one of the sdram slots and i
decided to put another 32MB sdram module in the second slot.

This functioned, only now it is not possible to close Win98 se any
more. The second module is a pc100 one of the same mark as the first
one.

Can anybody tell me if that pc100 module should work?
Is it possible that it should have been a edoram module (although it
works! Windows recognizes 64 MB ram)

Please comment?

Thanks
Max M.

this could just be a software problem

goto run and type msconfig
then choose diagnostic startup
now reboot and press F8 key repeatedly as the pc starts
choose option 4 step by step confirmation
press ENTER to everything except autoexec.bat & config.sys

if win starts ok go back to msconfig and change it back to normal startup

now see if it shuts down
if not try the windows shutdown patch for win98se and if you cant find it it
email me as i have it on a win98se machine somewhere
