This kind of strengthens the notion. How many memory boards do you have. Either -- get a memory checker -- I believe we have/had one somewhere around that ran in DOS on a floppy. or you could try reseating them to make sure they are plugged in or you could try pulling one board at a time and see if it goes away (and replace that simm/dimm whatever) Pete -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- - I N V E S T I N A L L U N I V E R S I T Y S T A F F - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Glassenbury Computer Science dept.
