The system is in Co-lo so no power problems. Yes memtest86. I did run for
the whole weekend. No errors.
I need to check the loads if the system comes up. it just shut down.
It gave me this error message.
Mar 15 03:52:14 d03 kernel: amr0: bad slot 17 completed

I read under many lists that the amr drives dies under heavy loads.
But what about the system not going through post and giving

RAM R/W failure.

I am confused!!:(
