Hi! Can we get a little more detail on the machine? Would be useful to know what year/model it is - have any pics? :)

Aaaah, OK, it's a Sawtooth (AGP) machine - not a Digital Audio model. OK that helps narrow it down. Looks like the DRAM is fully populated - how much is in there? It should show the capacity on each DIMM - it's possible you may have bad RAM.

there is only 2 sticks of ram that it says how much is in it (edit) it has 512 mb of ram
