Thanks - I'll try that. It seems that it will be Thursday before I can look at it now. Busy with kids activities last night and tonight. Thanks for the advice. I had asked him to return the new mobo and exchange it (the place I got it is supposed to have 7-day no q return policy). They refused, and sold him that new memory instead, insisting it had to be a memory issue.
