B BK_123 Golden Master Messages 7,578 Location Australia Mar 17, 2013 #5 I would take out all sticks of ram and put one in at a time and try then.
OP OP C Cortb In Runtime Messages 498 Location USA Mar 18, 2013 #6 Only one stick of ram. Tried both slots.
OhSnapWord Fully Optimized Messages 1,853 Location USA Mar 18, 2013 #7 See if you have any spare RAM floating around. Try testing with known good RAM.
