Ok guys, my computer is on the blitz and I need help.  Now, in addition to
randomly scrambling disk directories (which I think I've eliminated by
removing GOMF 3.0 from my startup-sequence) my machine (A500) randomly gurus.

I've noticed that it boots up with a green screen, and I seem to remember
that that signifies a memory problem.  To test what memory, I took out
my A501, and 1 Meg Byte Box, and the green screen persisted. So, I ran
a memory diagnostics program (I got it from comp.binaries.amiga, I think)
and it didn't find any problems... Hmm...

Does anybody have a *GOOD* PD/Shareware Memory checker/System Diagnostics
program?
 
Could it be a loose chip? (Agnus?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated...


-Dan
