Seems like the DIMMs are bad. Just for the heck have you tried disabling the RAM test (hold command-option while opening the Memory cp) to see if it will boot. And if it does, see if it is stable. And if it boots run some RAM tests (TTP, Gauge Pro, Dimm first Aid, etc etc). Marc * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
