Please log in for more thread options Thanks for the response Alex. I understood that if you only use a single
memory stick it has to be installed in the first slot, so I have tried each
stick singly in that slot - no problems. Is it OK to just have a single
stick in the second slot? If so, I will try that. A faulty slot
certainly would explain the problem.
Cheers
