Earth yourself and then clean all the ram contacts, PCI and ISA card slots, tap all the chips firmly on the top and make sure they feel ok, check then fans seem ok. Put it back together with the smallest amount of valid RAM configuration and no hard disks or PCI cards beyond the minimum and see if that passes memtest86. If it doesn't you can try reseating the CPU and the like but its probably game over. If it boots like that add bits back until either its all back or it stops booting 8) Alan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
