Hey: last time I got help from texasmich but couldnt reply because I'm new. I removed the battery and reset the CMOS and let it sit for a while. I put in a new battery and restarted with one one stick at a time (Corsair 2 Gb DDR3) and the issue has changed slightly. The machine starts and briefly goes through starts passing codes F3, F6 and F3 again. It then goes to b8 and then shuts down. After a brief pause it starts up and goes thru the same sequence over constantly until I power it down. Next steps?
Thanks All.
