[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1634534, member: 131855"] I had an almost identical problem with ram for a G5 years ago. I had the vendor install a couple of ram sticks. The problems started immediately. Took me a good while to work out the issue. Like you I used Tech Tool Pro, The Apple Hardware Test and Rember trying to diagnose the problem. I finally resorted to using an earlier version of [url=http://www.memtestosx.org]Memtest OS X[/url]. Meatiest found the problem immediately where other programs failed. At the time I rain the test Memtest could test more of the Macs memory than Rember. I believe the reason given at the time was that Remember used a little more memory during operation due to the GUI. Meatiest ran in single user mode. [/QUOTE]
