payotte@nro.cs.athabascau.ca (11/06/90)

Doe anybody know if there is a problem with the above mentioned 
motherboards and getting 00000003.x and 00000004.x Gurus. I have had some 
problems with mine(simple things like clicking on a icon on the workbench 
cause a Guru). Help

Not specifically Rev 6.  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.
