Try reverting the BIOS back to it's defaults. 2) Sig11's can also indicate defective cache and memory. If resetting the BIOS doesn't help, try replacing your SIMMs. Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
