This is usually indicative of two things: 1) Bad memory modules. 2) Possible speed conflict (mixing 70ns and 60ns parts) 2) Bad processor cache modules. If you installed any new RAM recently, replace it. The best thing is to find one manufacturer and use it for all the modules. Also find a good vendor that sells consistently good chips. if you keep getting bad ones from someone, buy them from somewhere else. > From some of the posts I've read, this seems like a memory and/or > hardware timeing problem.

It's fairly touchy about bad RAM. Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
