Michelle,
Well, this is starting to make some sense, at least a few things can be ruled out.
Probably not temperature, at least now. Over Temp is usually random lock-up/shut
down after the machine has been running for a while.
If you've unchecked "Automatically restart on error" in the Start-up and Recovery
settings menu and it still automatically restarts randomly like that, then it's usually
a PSU going bad. If the Power Good signal (+5V to mobo) drops at all the effect is
an immediate reset of the CPU.
The error message you posted looks like a memory problem, but based on the timing,
during Boot-up, I'm beginning to suspect the Video Card, which, not only has its
own RAM but also uses part of System Ram.
Also possible it's it's a bad Video Driver. I wasn't able to find much on you MotherBoard,
was hoping for a picture, but that won't answer the Video Card issue. You could have
Video built into the Motherboard or it could be an add-in Card. One of several different
kinds.
I suspect you have an add-in Video Card because you said there was a Fan blocking
you view of the RAM.
If you have either "EVEREST HOME EDITION or "SIW" installed, please run one of them
to help Identify your Video Card.
You can download Everest Home edition, ver 2.0 here.
http://www.oldversion.com/download.php?idlong=b0e1140fe6e5a7bda6688b67229e3da2
Down load, install and Run Everest to see if we can ID your Video Card. You may also
find links in Everest for updating Video Drivers.
I'll send my eMail address, could you send the pictures you took?
It' late, I'm whipped & this should keep you busy for a while. :)
BW
