Hi

Got a Epox 8RDA3+ with an XP2200 which had been running perfectly [snip]

Does it work OK if you put the old RAM back?
Either way, check the capacitors for leaks/bulges. That's what killed my
Epox (similar vintage to yours).

Likewise my own 8RDA3+. I replaced half the caps, then six months
later replaced another quarter. The big jobs near the CPU were fine,
most of the littler ones went splut.

Works fine now, though.

Cheers - Jaimie
