JFTR: I chased "random" panics for some time on my Acer AK77-400. Thought bad memory, ran memtest86 and it was confimed... NOT! Turns out that although the board supports DDR.../333/400 (PCwhatchamacallit/2700/...) and has three slots, there is not enough bandwidth to run @ 400 with all three slots populated. At 333, all memory tested good. *After* I was made aware of this niggling little inconvenience, I had to make the tough choice between faster or more memory. *sigh*. I had found a post about it somewhere, but I can't locate it now. I hope this is not your problem... or maybe it is better than bad memory? > <snip sig stuff> -- Bill
