A couple of things to try: - Put in both sticks, try booting from a distribution and pass the bootloader "mem=960M" as a parameter at the prompt. - Just to make sure it's not a memory problem, grab memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/) and try running it for a few hours. Unlikely, but you never know. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
