Verona,
This sounds like you have a memory problem. The chips may be ok but , as you
said, you have moved this unit several times. Unfortunately many PC cases
have a tendency to twist and dislodge adapter cards and maybe memory chips.
You are going to have to get into that case and verify that everything is
properly *seated* and *connected*. That does not mean just *pushing* on
them. I would recommend removing and reseating. (If it is dirty inside I
would recommend investing in a canned air to clean it out at that time. That
can cause many problem if not done regularly) If you are not comfortable
with this then I would recommend taking to someone who is. Remember though,
if you move it again it may happen again if this is the problem. I have had
several PCs in the past that had this issue and drove my clients(and me)
nuts.
Hope this is your problem as it will just cost a little time and maybe no
money. Much good luck.
Jeff

get into the CMOS? I will check the ribbon cables because I did move the
computer a few times. I was trying to avoid opening the computer.
