How did you test the seperate DIMMS? Do you get a different result on checksum at
startup with just the faulty DIMM in as opposed to all slots in?
Again, I was having similar problems, after upgrading to AMD Barton, 6 internal ATA
hard drives, DVD writer and up to 6 USB 2.0 devices plugged in at once on a 300W
PSU with only the AMD stock cooling fan. Call me Mr. Living Dangerously. Confronted
with shutdowns every 15 minutes after the upgrade, I read this and other forums and
even though voltage and temp within safe zones I replaced with a 430W PSU with 3
new quiet fans. So far no shutdown, but now having problems with USB devices just
shutting off.
