A troublshooting tip, but no specific answer. Have you taken the 128mb
stick out and tried the compouter with just it's orig 32mb (in it's orig
slot)? If that makes the problem go away, the 128 DIMM may be bad, may be
incompatible with the 32, or with the board.  Or the128 may just need to
be in the other Dimm slot.
