Thanks to Rick Rogers - I'll run a check of the ram.

In the meantime, i did get another crash/blue screen, with the following
tech info:

Stop:0X00000000A (0X00000004, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0X804E6617)
beginning dump of physical memory.
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system admin or tech suppt group for further assist.

<Hi Ted,

0x4e generally means there is a problem with the ram. If you want to check
the memory, there are free programs here:

http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

It is possible that there is a timing conflict if more than one stick is in
use, pulling one may resolve it.

Well, I ran the Microsoft memory test program that Rick suggested - both the
standard and full suite of tests - and everything passed muster; no errors.
Given the message error message posted previously, does anyone have any
other leads?

Thanks, and Happy New Year!
