[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 551111, member: 24098"] I think this thread has raised a number of "lessons learned", that can save one a lot of heartache. 1. When you have a problem with a device (any device), the first thing to ask yourself is "What changed?". If you've recently added or changed hardware, chances are good that the hardware is defective. 2. Quality memory is extremely important. Don't shop on price alone, make sure the memory is guaranteed to work in your machine and that the vendor is one that will be around to support any "lifetime" warranties they offer. This is why I recommend memory from Crucial.com. 3. Never reinstall the OS as a troubleshooting measure. Determine the source of the problem before proposing a solution. At any rate, I'm glad you were able to isolate the issue - I would go back to the vendor that sold you the memory and seek replacements. [/QUOTE]
