Hi

I have a pentium 233 mhz with a P5tx-bpro motherboard and a Intel
processor. 

Since I upgrade the ram memory to 64 meg. Wen I lit on the computer, the
boot up screen are like the following line, but it's freeze there and the
keyboard don't work and the setup screen wont come wen I press the del
key, I need to switch off and immediately switch on again so it will work
ok.  If I wait too long to switch on again it will be freeze again. 

I put two 32 meg dimm 168 pin ram, on the board;

one are;

32 meg, pc66, hy57v168010d  TC-10 9843a

the other dimm are;

32 meg, pc66, v54c316802vbt10    98450s

In my P5tx-bpro mainboard user's manual they that you need a 168 pin dimm.
3.3 volt edo or sdram.

I seem there's a mistake I made  with my dimm memory.

They are well sit in the dimm memory slot and I did not force them in the
slot, it goes well into the slot.

Wen I lit up the computer and the screen freeze.  Here the line on the
screen at boot;

my Win Me .
