A loose screw fell out of the machine when I move it yesterday. I assume 
that it had shorted some connections on the mobo and fried something. 
The RAM modules are OK in non-ECC mode, but in ECC mode they fail on my 
wife's machine too. So as long as I need only two RAM modules and no 
ECC, it's OK. The U320 LSILogic SCSI card seems to be behaving itself OK 
now too.
