I just added an Aries RAM card with 2 MB of 1MegX1 memory chips, to
my Amiga 2000 with its factory-delivered 1Meg of RAM.  Within the
first couple of hours of use, I experienced three crashes: two
Gurus and a freezeup.  Normally this *never* happens.  At the time
of the crashes, the machine had been sitting idle, running only one
user task, such as a telecom program (Platinum Online!) which didn't
happen to be connected to anything, or a shell, or Memacs.

I ran extensive memory tests: 25 passes of Memory Doctor.  It found
no bad chips.

Is there something I need to do that nobody told me about, or should
I suspect a defective Aries board?
