It Was 8:30 Saturday morning and i needed computer repair fast. I was stumped, i usually fix my own computers. First guy i call says i'll fix it with a soldering gun. I wondered what this guy was smoking. I called a few others. No answer or an just answering machine. I finally get Dave of Midi Masters. What a guy! He knows his stuff. He removed the bad memory which was giving the same sysmptoms as a bad powersupply/graphics card put in some good memory and it worked like my wife right after we got married, even better. WARNING: Do not go to anyone who uses a soldering iron to fix computers.
