Replacing the CPU, RAM, or level 2 cache SIMM would be stupid because why would you do that if you don't know if they are the problem? Rotating the RAM might be a possible solution, but in order to do that you have to open up the computer. So, disabling the CPU cache (BIOS) is the most sensible first step. So, that's why the 4th answer is right. Also remember the rules of trouble shooting, suspect software before hardware.

The only non hard ware option is the CMOS setting.
