<br><br>Stuart: Thanks for the help - I think that might be the problem, but I have a question on memtest86 - do I run it with my current memory size as the test size or the full swap size?<br><br>The system had 768meg (256meg + 512meg) and when I ran "memtest 1G" it would freeze right away. I took out the 256meg memory and the "memtest 1G" still hangs right away, but the system has been stable now for over 24hrs. So I suspect the 256meg chip, but am not sure how to use memtest to test it.
<br><br>The memtest website isn't helping, so the quick question is - how should I use memtest86? - What kind of results should I expect?<br><br>M@<br></div>
