I think that Mary hit the nail on the head , Jim... She stated that you must use
PC100
SDRAM with  this motherboard... In your information you stated that you were
using 10ns ,,,,, PC100 compliant ram is  6,7 or 8ns ,, your ram will not certify
as
compliant therefore is most likely your problem.
Hope this assists.
