Understood. Thank you for that diagnosis.

usually it says proc #1 in the error, but the first time it said proc #0 - is that interesting ?

youre welcome :)

if youre hanging on to that box, remove the memory from banks 3 and 4 and it should be ok. if my memory serves me right, you cant have only 3 banks of memory (hence removing bank 3 also), the motherboard is configured to handle 1, 2, or 4 populated banks. it you leave bank 3 in while removing bank 4, it will beep at you when you power it on and do nothing. with a gig of ram, it should still be plenty useful.

#1 lore raw

Are you saying that you think bank 4 is bad because you saw this in my error:

localhost kernel: Bank 4: b200000000040151

                  ^^^^^^

(just asking to increase my own understanding)

thanks!
