As others have suggested, this may well be bad RAM - or I've had similar symptoms with two motherboards (from different manufacturers) that were OK at low bus speeds but on the edge at specced speed. The RAM is the more likely issue. I suggest downloading and booting with Memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org/) as a first test. Plan to leave it running for several hours. It will log any errors it finds in the lower part of the screen. A second test is to run cpuburn (http://pages.sbcglobal.net/redelm/). cpuburn itself is a useful test, but I strongly recommend running burnbx and burnmmx for a few minutes each with each of their 'E' and 'L' parameters - E and L exercise L2 cache and RAM respectively. These will run while the machine is up. If they exit unexpectedly, or the machine spontaneously restarts, you've found your culprit! - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
