detected, but a memory
failure has occurred.
Remove and reinstall all memory modules and CRIMMs.
Ensure that all the connector tabs are locked. Restart the
computer.
Install the memory modules in memory connectors
RIMM 1 (located closest to the microprocessor) and
RIMM 2 and ensure that, if no additional memory is
used, CRIMMs are installed in memory connectors
RIMM 3 and RIMM 4.
If you installed memory modules in memory connectors
RIMM3 and RIMM4 that were not purchased from Dell,
remove the modules and replace them with the
CRIMMs that were originally installed in your computer.
If available, install Dell memory of the same type into
your computer.
If the problem persists, contact Dell.
