I remove the memory and the problem does go away. However, the extra memory I
am using now is IBM memory and I still have problems. I did try swapping
slots as well and no joy!
Any other ideas or help?

If you remove the memory and the problem goes away, and the memory was
not part of the original system, then IBM won't help you under warranty.
They don't support any user-added, non-IBM parts. You'd have to build
a pretty strong case that the system board was defective and wouldn't
work with any memory. Kind of tough to do that.
To help overcome the problem yourself, try swapping the memory into
another slot. Sometimes memory that is finicky in one slot works fine
in another.
Good luck!

page faults or BSOD's or simply hung machine in Win2000. It appeared to be a
problem with RAM so I swapped the 128M Crucial with 128M IBM I had in one of
the other A2x machines I have. That seemed to work so I called Crucial and
they sent me a new 128M to replace the first one. I had similar problems with
it so I put the IBM 128M back in and it seemed to work. The second 128M from
Crucial is also not working in the other A2x I have so I think there is a
problem there.

Does it sound like an EZ-Serve problem?
