That's what I did. The strange is that I had 3 Dimms
there, 2 made by Samsung and 1 from IBM. Testing the
3, one after another, I got same results so, mainboard
problem? Other thing is that I had NT and Linux
running there before and nothing appears wrong. Yes, I
can try different ram, but for that I must shutdown
our firewall :-) (they are same server model running
in failover some times ago). Thanks for the reply and
best regards.
