The easiest way to narrow the problem down is to remove memory modules (if you have more than one) and retest with one module at a time. When you see the problem with a single module in place, try swapping it to the other socket (if you have more than one) and retest to see if it's the module or the socket. I recently ran into a Dell laptop where one of the RAM sockets was bad, which was not a problem I'd seen before. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
