RAM Failure

Comment:

I get this message when I do a system diagnostic: RTC RAM TEST: RTC FAILURE, 32 OD20. The problem I have is that my WinXP Pro does not want to boot. Can RAM be an issue? Help appreciated.

I would try another stick of ram to see it that would correct the problem if not then I would suggest that you have a bad motherboard, ugh.

I believe that is for CMOS RAM. Check your motherboard battery Asus A7N8X-X 2500+ Sempron @ 2100mhz 10.5 x 200mhz @ 1.80v 512mb PC3200 Ti4200/8X 128mb WDC 60GB
