Possible failed memory stick?? For everybodys information:- I had a machine recently that went unreliable and finally failed to boot. The cure: I removed each memory module and lightly cleaned the gold fingers with a rubber ink eraser. On replacement of the modules the machine booted fine and has now run for three months with no further problems. The reason: I suspect that the gold plating used is not as pure as one would like. At the very low logic levels (as low as 1.5V) used in modern machines. Slight voltage drops across connectors can be sufficient to prevent discrimination between a logic 0 and a logic 1. Since this differetiation is a fairly important requirement for computer operation the machine can simply stop working. Either way it saved me a few pounds!!! Colin Close
