I tested the RAM in another computer and it was fine, and another power supply in the computer resulted in the same red flags. It's definitely the motherboard. So instead of shelling out $60 more for a working motherboard he'd rather deal with 512MB of RAM. Not necessarily terrible in Windows XP. Now he's having some minor Java issues as well as a failed CD drive which has nothing to do with me, but now I'm his computer guy so I'm helping a bit. No charge for emailing me;-) So I’m not going to write a whole update on how this ended, I’ll simply put a comment here:
