        Hi,
	I'm hoping somebody can help me.  I have an Amiga 2000HD, a second
internal floppy, and an 8-up dip memory board, populated with 4 meg.
The mother board is a 4.* rev and everything for the last year has been fine.

	Latley, however I have been experiencing, a series of random gurus
and or system lockups. Sometimes when I cntrl Amiga Amiga everything is fine,
but mostly the screen just lights up a dark red. There does not seem to be
a repeatable pattern, except that when I have reseated the mem board the
problem usually clears up for a short time. Latley, the lockups have become
more and more frequent and some times the system never fully reboots before
locking up. I have a standard startup except for virusx4.0 and a few
additional assigns for some programs. In the beginning of the problem I would
run the memory check program and nothing was reported, last saturday I removed
the memory board altogether and the occurrences seem to have disappered.

	Is it the memory board itself or perhaps a problem with the expantion
bus........, I would apreciate any leads to a complete recovery as I miss my
expanded memory.

	ps. I do not have the fatter agnus
