I think the previous post to the list about the machine possibly not
supporting more than 4GiB of RAM could be a big help, too. At least it
is something to double check.

Since I am out of classes for today (damn professional development) I
plan on running the memtest and seeing what happens.

So I'm running Memtest86+ v1.70 and I'm seeing lots of red. Bad things. The error count is up to 92k and climbing ....

If I put in just the 2b's it tests fine. Just the 4gb's it test fine. For whatever reason it doesn't like the 6gb's.

Someone sent a link that showed that DELL says the 5150 only supports 4gb's of memory. Apparently that's true. :)

Thanks for the help!
