I had similar problems long ago with an Alegra board for my 1000, as well as recently with a Hurricane '020 board. This type of GURU can usually tracked down to a bad ram chip or two. The Alegra problem was due to DRAMS that weren't fast enough for it's critical timing-related circuitry. Hand picking the DRAMS solved the problem. The Hurricane problem was due to either some sort of intermittant connection on the 32-bit RAM board, or static build up somewhere in the system. After I removed the RAM board, cleaned it off, and re-installed it everything has been just fine since. You might check all your connectors and wiggle them around to make sure a good connection is being made. Do the same for all your socketed (if any) ram chips. -Reid.. M.V. Micro –
