You have one failing RAM chip, or a failing RAM socket. Install one chip

If there is a failure note the socket involved, then do the same with
the other RAM chip. Note the socket and the chip involved in the
failure. If the second chip results in no failures, then the first RAM
chip has failed. If the second chip results in a failure, the the socket
containing the chip has failed and it will be the same (hopefully) as
the first socket failure.
A RAM chip failure is correctable. A socket failure is not without a
mainboard replacement (it could be a solder failure in the socket).
Q
OK,
I did start doing somthing like this, but thought that maybe one
socket has priority at startup.
So I guess it's probably a socket failure. Anyway, I'll do the test
again, more systematically.
Thanks
