Hi Mark, I'm guessing there's not a compatible chip on the motherboard for both of those items. Its a DELL server and unfortunately we only actually have one disk on it at the moment, so there's no RAID (which is also worrying :( ) Full memory checks have been on in the past and never reported any errors at the time. May be worth switching back on I guess.
