Hello Gordon...

     Well, the simms are fine (as far as I can tell) as I have interchanged 
them with another system of mine, and the problems remained....
     In terms of QAPLUS, well, I tried that, but since the program was made 
in 1990, it cannot seem to work on the memory tests (on BOTH computers)
     The harddrives, I have rebooted my computer with a clean DOS bootdisk 
and ran Thunderbyte v8.00 on it and found nothing on both drives...
     Sharing I/O port addresses?? I don't think that's the problem as when 
these cards were in the old system (now my other system) they worked 
perfectly fine and I didn't change anything on them...
     Chipset... well, that's a possibility, as the manuals are never well 
written, nor explanitive enough to fully let the person know what they are 
doing...
