another strange "puta" thing

[suicidal_monkey]

My pc has recently (since installing my kindly donated ram in fact) started to hang during the BIOS startup getting to "post code 94" on the bios check thingy. It only does this on a cold boot. If I hit the reset button as soon as it's hung on "post code 94" it then proceeds to boot up fine...

As my motherboard is kind of invisible on the internet (Sparkle nForce2 400) I have to go with the guess that  bios-related codes might help. What I found through google wasn't terribly informative to me (yet...)

According to SiSoft Sandra I have a Phoenix BIOS...

Code Select Expand

Error Code â€" 94
ACER (94)#5 shutdown.
AMI (94)Hard disk setup complete. Going to set base and extended memory size. BIOS
ROM data area check over.
Compaq (94)Page registers seem OK.
Chips & Tech (94)POD Bootstrap.
Phoenix (94)Disable A20 address line.(Beep)=3-2-2-1
If anyone can enlighten me on what "(94)Disable A20 address line.(Beep)=3-2-2-1" actually means I'd love to know (not noticed any beeping but then again who knows if I plugged the pc speaker in...

which particular bit of control is erroneous though? And can I fix it easily? Should I just let it do a full run on counting my RAM or something?
