1 Well, I think my machine is possessed or something. I'm getting random
2 reboots here. When it does this, it is like hitting the reset button.
3 It is sitting on the grub screen when it does this. I noticed the first
4 time the other day and this was before adding the extra memory. I
5 seemed to be stable at 4Gbs but I seem to be rebooting at random. I ran
6 memtest yesterday, it checked fine. It didn't find a error but it
7 looked like it was only testing part of it. Memtest recognizes all
8 16Gbs on the last run but it didn't seem to be testing it all. Is there
9 a trick to getting it to test the whole thing?

66 I don't see anything out of the norm, do you? What else should I
67 check? I have a Gigabyte mobo, anything in the BIOS I should check?
68 After I added the last two sticks of ram, I loaded the optimized
69 settings. No overclocking or anything here.

71 It does this while logged into KDE and after running a while. I have
72 shut down folding and the CPU is running below 85F and all the fans are
73 running fine. I don't think this could be a heat issue. It's a Cooler
74 Master HAF 932 case with lots of cooling.
75
76 I'm going to reboot and let memtest run a while and see exactly what it
77 was that makes me think it is not testing ALL the memory.

79 Thanks.
