RAMTESTing a Horizon - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Hi
 This is a good idea. Loads change as things warm up.
It seems like I recall that there were some RAMs
that needed to be written once before they worked
properly. I don't know if these are among those.
Still, John's suggestion is where I'd look first
then you should type replacing the RAM's with a
different manufacture.

PS I currently work at AMD but these RAMs are way before
 my time here.

  One thing to test: since you have been experiencing power-supply
gremlins - if you have a scope (or a DVM that measures AC millivolts)
you might want to put it accross the power lines to the card, to see if
there is a high value of 'ripple' riding on the DC lines - Excessive
ripple can cause nasty little transient glitches like you describe. Then
you can look to the filter capacitors to see if they might not need some
TLC as well.

   Just a Thought...

Cheers
