So how long has it been doing this, since you put the new memory in?
Could be some faulty memory perhaps [ Reg says try pushing the SIMMs in a 
bit more - apparently this is a common problem ] That might not be the 
problem though...

Some of Osbornes in K1201 have been known to do that. Although that was 
mostly at the time when we had the Network cards being subject to 
interference due to the funny mother/daughter board layout. It happened 
after we fixed that so maybe it was something else. The difference was 
that the Osbornes actually rebooted themselves.
