It looks like a 32 chip is not showing up, it may be a crook one, maybe finally dead? Bad RAM can cause all sorts of trouble including yours. It may be a lucky opportunity to identify it. Look up Apple profiler and see what bay is not showing a chip. Either throw it out without further ado or use it *on its own* to see if you can operate. Unlikely, but it may be the bay and not the chip, in which case avoid the bay. David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
