289745 2004-11-09 07:57:00 When booting up from a cold start the comp gets as far as completing the memory test & stops. It should offer me to option to go into the raid config option list after that. After a few controlaltdeletes it works & boots normally. It sees the hard drive & cd´s ok.
Any Ideas

289748 2004-11-09 08:53:00 Is it failing the memory test? If so, have you tried using a RAM tester like memtest (http://www.memtest86.com/)? andrew93 (249)

umm how can he do this when he cant get into windows, or can you boot up from this?
i see you have a fair bit of ram, maybe you could take out a stick and try different combinations to see if there is a faulty stick
