In general, flakey behavior, especially level 3 and 4 execeptions where they shouldn't occur (eg, you're not running flakey software or debugging your own) generally indicate memory is failing somewhere. The most likely cause of memory failure is incorrectly seated expansion boards. If you have expansion boards, try pulling them out and carefully reseating them. Other things that can cause memory failures are having a maladjusted power supply (if you're much off from the required 5V, the system gets flakey) or noise/glitches on your power line. And of course, it is possible to have a bad memory chip, though not all that likely. > Paul -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy Standing on the shoulders of giants leaves me cold -REM
