     Ever since I bought my Amiga 500 and A501 expansion, I have had trouble
with seemingly random Guru #4's.  Several times, my system has up and died
as a result of them...the procedure it followed is somewhat like:
                    Weird Guru. Like 8100**** that I never see.
                    Guru #3.
                    Machine does not attempt reboot. Guru #4.
                    Machine attempts reboot.
                    Yellow Screen..
                    All attempted reboots on my part produce Yellow.
Ick. Ick. After getting to this point, if I pulled out the 501, it boots
fine. Repairing/Replacing the 501, it again worked fine, but a day later...
Same thing. Fixed it once more, and now it seems to work okay, but            
occasionally, I still get these nasty Guru #4's, and I'm wondering when I'll
get the delightful Yellow screen again. Could this be a problem with a chip
on the 501? Or...one of the pins from my Amiga to it looks rather mutilated,
could it be a problem with the connection? Help!!!
      Any and all replies will be appreciated.
