Subject: Memory test Failed

Hello Folks: I have a older system: Pentium 133, 32mgs Ram, HX chipset.  The
board bios is dated May, 1996.  Recently on most boots (but not all) I get
the error message "memory test failed":push F1 to continue or Del to enter
setup.  I push F1 and the system always continue to boot all the way up into
Win95a.  Although the memory does count up properly, I swapped out the two
16mg SIMM's for two spare 8 mg SIMM's, but the problem still continues.  On
most startups but not all I get the error message, but I can continue with
the boot up.  Can someone suggest what all items would cause this if itis
not a SIMM problem?  Thank You, William Patton
