The report certainly says that all EIGHT RAM chips are bad. I wouldn't believe
it. Before going any further, pull out the cards (one by one) to see if that
makes a difference. I suspect you will get a difference when you pull the
Extended 80 Column Card. Make sure that the power if off for at least a few
seconds, and that you ground yourself to the power supply, before pulling ANY
card from an Apple computer.
