My rig seems to be developing a problem with booting. On occasion it powers down during the boot up screen, it appears to happen at the memory portion (though it's hard to tell for sure).
The first time this happened, after trying to boot several times unsuccessfully, I swapped the 2X 1gb sticks and it booted fine. The second time this happened (several days later), I swapped them back to their original positions and once again, it booted fine after the swap.
Just wondering why the swap is allowing my system to boot? I assume one of my sticks may be bad, though I cannot currently run memtest due to my DVD drive having problems reading discs so I cannot boot from a disc.
