166628 2003-08-10 16:40:00 Well I just have one idea at this point.

What you posted indicates a sick memory stick to me.

Try a search on Google for Memtest86 and download. Make sure you have a formatted floppy disk handy and extract the memtest to the floppy using make.

Boot off the newly made floppy.

You may need to get into the BIOS first and use Floppy as first BOOT device, HDD0 or HDD1 as second boot device. Use CDRom as third boot device.

If you need more help about getting into the BIOS then post back here. Usually hitting the <Del> key at start does it... It could be other keys like F10 etc.

Post back with your motherboard info if you know and I'm sure that someone will help you on how to get into the BIOS. Just change the BOOT order and nothing else in the BIOS!!
