Gilad, Perhaps you have aggressive memory timings set; just for kicks see if you can back the timings off to the most conservative settings (perhaps there is a 70ns setting you could try.) You might also try resetting bios to setup defaults if your bios supports that. The fact that Win95 does not reboot pretty much means that Win95 does not reboot. I had bad memory in an NT system - NT got all of the way installed and would run for a couple hours before dying; FreeBSD could barely get started booting a kernel before it died. The conventional wisdom is that different operating systems tickle the hardware differently or perhaps more intensely. Regards, -Chris On Sun, 22 Mar 1998, Gilad Rom wrote: > Hmm...
