Ok, the plot thickens...
Upon a keyboard lockup, if I reseat DIMM A, the problem goes away
momentarily.... but comes back. We were able to run with DIMM B only for
a while, but the problem eventually occurred again. (Incidentally, the
memtest86 did reboot with only DIMM B present.)
The exhaustive memory test in the built-in Dell diagnostics passed the
machine with flying colors. However, there must have been some seismic
shift in the space-time continuum because the Indian Dell rep I spoke with
actually ordered an RMA based upon what I said about the DIMMs, even
though the hardware diagnostic passed OK...
We'll see what happens.
Cheers,
