DMMS out of Rev?

[slycer]

One of my clients has a machine with the follinig error on it:

"Alert! DIMMS are out of Rev"
I asked around about this, and was told that it was just a problem with the memory, and all I had to do was jusr re-seat the memory or get the correct kind.

Now, before I go messing around with anything, I wanted to get a second opinion. So, was this information correct, and if now, what does that really mean and how do I fix it?

Alert! One or more of the Memory DIMMs are out of rev. System detected that one or more of the DIMMs are not the correct revision. DIMMs do not meet the Intel® SPD 1.2 specification or 66-MHz DIMMs are installed.

Hi,

Yup, sounds like you need to install the correct memory for the specific system model number / motherboard model number.

What is the brand and model number of the system or motherboard?

Off the top of my head, Im not sure, but the CPU is a Dell Model GX1, if that helps you any.

Hi again,

Here are your system specs.

Look here for information on finding the correct memory for that specific model.

Just enter your Dell Optiplex GX1 into the RAM picker.

Just download and install the Dell BIOS version A09 or later for the GX1 - that will fix the problem.
I had this once before and this did the trick.
