The cause may be both. After an 10 hour drive, I turned it on at home. Windows loaded as if nothing had happened before. I played around for a while. I then restarted to make sure and everything went OK. I turned it on in the morning and the old problems came back again. I tried to remove the extra 16MB but did not push it hard in fear of breaking it. I then dismantled it (as if I knew where I was looking) to see the motherboard crack mentioned before. I put everthing back in place and turned it on before the screws. OK. After screws not OK. I will just leave it for a day or two for the bios battery. Is there a page that shows how to remove/add extra memory on the 50ct? I did not know where to apply the pressure to remove it.
