Hello I just bought a Compaq Armada M700 on ebay. It came with everything I needed but I cant get past the boot up screen. :sad: I will turn on the computer and it will get to like 120 ram and then shut off. So I took out the hard drive and it got to like 256 ram then gave me an error message of " 162-system options not set" and cut off. what is the problem? please help I really like this computer.

Could be a faulty memory dimm/slot

Try swapping the memory dimm to a different slot.The best place to find out how to do this is the manufacturer's website.

Unfortunately I have never worked with an armada so I can't be any more specific
