    Always restarts in middle of boot-up

    <b>Update:</b> Ok, I have tried out all the things people have suggested so far: I swapped memory modules, did a memory tester (both MemTest86 and Windows Memory Diagnostic), checked my hard drive using both "chkdsk /r" and Maxtor PowerMax Diagnostics, cleared all my CMOS settings back to...

    Help a bonehead understand the basics of RAM!

    OK, I have this 128MB 168-pin DIMM lying here in front of me. I have determined that it was made by Micron because it has the Micron logo on it.
