Howdy Folks,

A few weeks back, my primary PC started behaving erratically.  Ran
Memtest86+, and lo and behold, it reported memory errors.  I could not
isolate which of the two DIMM's was bad by removing or swapping them - or,
they both had problems.  So, I sent the DIMM's off to Buffalo for
replacement.

Got the new DIMMS a couple hours ago.  Now, Memtest86+ does not report any
errors; however, the machine shuts off 50% through the tests.  Is this a
bad sign?  :)

(There aren't any bulging caps on this board...)

Thanks,
-J
