My machine does this occasionally. Funnily enough, usually in the mornings - I think
before its heated up. From what I can tell, these STOPs are memory related. One
thing you can always try (I just did yesterday) is cleaning the contacts on your
ram sticks. To clean the contacts you remove the stick (this works for cards as
well), use a pencil eraser and rub all of the gold contacts thoroughly. After that,
take a cotton swap (q-tip) soaked with alcohol (90% isopropyl is great) and clean
by rubbing the swap back and forth across the contacts. Dry and give it a good blow
(no spittle!) to get rid of any stray cotton bits. Replace RAM. You'd be surprised
at how often this works.
