Good to hear it's all working now. Curious, the pair of Patriot sticks with the problem: did that package show signs of being opened before you bought it? Unscrupulous people will buy memory, swap stickers and put their old memory in the package and return it. This can happen at retail, but is very unlikely with Newegg et al as anything returned is sold as "open box" not new. > Thank you, everyone, for your input.

All is right with the world, or, at least with my new system. I'm glad a simple RAM swap fixed it. Swapping mobos is a much bigger PITA... -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
