This is my first post to the list, so please bare with me. I have an old
486/66 machine running Windows 3.11 to which I recently tried to add some
memory. After doing so, I ran setup, the additional memory was sucessfully
recognized, and the system passed the POST. However, upon reaching the
"Starting MS-DOS" screen, the system just hangs. Pressing F5 or F8 does
nothing except cause the internal speaker to hum, and it won't recognize a
bootable floppy in the A: drive (I tried different boot disks).
Incidentally, the system ran fine prior to the memory swap, and I have tried
putting the original memory back in, and the same symptom is present. I
have also tried reseating ribbon cables and the IDE controller card,
thinking that perhaps something had been physically disturbed. Any
suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I have
provided sufficient information.
