Mark, Once again as noted in my previous email I would suggest working with one stick of RAM at a time and moving it through all RAM Slots. This will narrow down where the exact problem is.

So I did screw that up. But, it didn't make much difference. I looked at the ram in the DA and pulled out the two sticks that weren't marked 133 and put in the two sticks I found. The only change is that in slots J21 and J22 now have 133 ram and J23 shows empty. I think this is an improvement.
