If it isn't the memory, reseat all the cards and cables. Use stabilant 22A. Repeat until you find the bad cable or memory stick'). Needs a 24-hour burn-in to confirm good status.<BR/><BR/>I always have one good back-up system laying around in case something goes critically wrong elsewhere, and usually have a working ancient system of some sort as an unready reserve. This one was a bunch of spares and a new, but old style motherboard, then refurbed with a new power supply. Did it that way so I could do a future motherboard swap or anyone getting it could do that with a local screwdriver computer shop. After that I have a Pico-ITX build to put in my toaster from hell, then a final refurb of an old system. That Pico-ITX is my first all-custom job, so parts hunting on-line has eaten up far too much time... still is, too... but it should be a nice and easily transportable system. Get to do my own sheet metal work, oh, joy, oh, rapture.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-10139357581102059752008-09-07T16:37:00.000-07:002008-09-07T16:37:00.000-07:00Getting a larger hard drive for the confuser also,...Getting a larger hard drive for the confuser also, and 512 more RAM. Right now I'm on the wife's confuser at her house. With luck, I should have my desktop renovated and back in service next weekend.<BR/><BR/>BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-66936371494807661052008-09-07T14:42:00.000-07:002008-09-07T14:42:00.000-07:00Awesome cartoons brother!!!Awesome cartoons brother!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635115037302997018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-83314546787229489092008-09-07T11:16:00.000-07:002008-09-07T11:16:00.000-07:00Great cartoon finds.
