I tried various configurations. I replaced all memory modules with other ones, I tried to remove half of them - but that did not help. Actually, there are many memory tuning options in BIOS. Perhaps, I have to change some of them. But I am not sure. So I use the default BIOS settings. I have tried to boot from SP3 disk, but it does not help. -----Original Message----- From: William A.
