Hi,

The message is telling you that the MEMORY is unstable at a certain address.

My quess is that if you moved the memory to a machine that is running fine,
you would get a similar message.

So, Why not try changing the memory and see if the message goes away.  That
is, completely remove
the memory and put a different piece in.  If you then got the same message,
and trying the original memory in a different board has no problems, then
the board may be a cuplrit but it is not likely.

If the memory in your system is more than one piece(168 pin dimm), you can
try removing one piece at a time to narrow down the faulty piece.  IF you
do not have another piece, maybe a friend will help you by swaping with his
system.

If the system is an older system using 72 pin memory then, that usually has
to be done in pairs and will not work if you remove one and leave one.  You
can try moving the memory into different sockets and seeing if the address
given changes.  Then again it is most likey the memory is bad and not the
board.

Thanks,

Joe
