Hey Kaz ;D
This could definitly be a ram problem ..First thing I would do is make sure to get the latest Bios from youre mobo manufacturer and see how it acts afterward.
Try moving the ram to a different slot , naturally you should use which ever is designated as slot #1 since it will have the fastest pipe to the chipset. I know there are some ram diagnostic programs out but I havent used any in soo long that I cant remember what they are... I will look around a bit and see if I can find a decent one.
What is the board ?
who makes the ram ? There are some known compatibility issues using Kingston ram on certain chipsets { mostly on ECS boards }
If you are running more than 1 stick of ram I would remove them all and run 1 single stick in slot 1 and see how it goes. You may just want to grab a cheap Simm and see if its the same... Also take a look around and see if any programs you run conflict with others you may be using... Most likely its going to be some kind of software hoseing up youre registry or eating ram and not giving it back, this can be pretty common even with XP Pro ... which you should definitly run
Let me know what the board and ram is ;D
Bye the way youre PII will be on the way in the morning ...great stability for a server bye the way
