>Do you think it was just the seating or could the card have gone bad?
>(I have checked it with TechTool 2 and no problems showed up)

TechTools is cute and perhaps has some application but I've never had it
catch or demonstrate anything useful on CPUs with hardware faults.  Well OK
the CPU would lock up or similar just like it would by running apps etc :)
but I hardly consider that a result of TTP being useful.

I had to do tech support for one prof who would refuse to take anything to
Apple but he bought the full TTP and ran it religiously; he had more than
his share of bad luck with bad MBs, bad RAM, bad drives so I got to see
first hand how much TTP could "find".  Answer:  not much (nothing, really).
The faults he had didn't even lock TTP in a repeatable testing area, but
swapping RAM would show that the RAM was bad, or whatever.

So perhaps make sure the RAM card connector is clean, reinstall, swap it
with a known good one, that sort of thing, to decide where the problem is.
