    Hmmm. I did start the memory test but after an hour and no errors I
    figured it was testing minutae that was improbable as the source of
    the trouble ... run it overnight? Wow! OK.

    I can also check the motherboard settings, perhaps something could be
    amiss there.

    Thanks! dmc
