Computer freezes

When I turn on my COMPUTER I get a flashing message, spd not found at Dimm(s) 2

Have you just added new memory ??.The error message means that you bought memory that is incorrect memory for your system (or for virtually any PC for that matter). All DIMMs used in modern PCs require an on-DIMM SPD (Serial Presence Detect) ROM which contains the specifications of the DIMM which the motherboard reads to determine the settings for the memory controller circuitry. I recommend you return that memory for a proper PC-100 SDRAM DIMM that includes the SPD ROM.

It is a ram/timming problem.
