Try inserting only one of them. Boot. Then switch to the other one. Boot. Likely, one of them is broken. Get it replaced.

I had a similar issue: http://www.notebookforums.com/thread206110.html IIRC, I had a bad RAM stick. New RAM, all well. I would try removing one RAM stick at a time to see if it boots. If not, try checking all motherboard connectors.

It's a hardware limitation that was fixed in Santa Rosa laptops (i.e. most 2007 models and onwards)

I haven't actually heard of anyone with issues with an engineering sample. I would guess that there might be heat issues? But random crashes? Not that I've heard of. I wouldn't rely on one for a mission-critical system, and it may void...

Impossible? You need a whole new chipset = new motherboard. And the new ones don't have the same form factor, so you're in for a ride...

Actually, sometimes errors show up only when the drive is hot. Case in point: on my old Dell laptop, I used to get I/O error from the HDD after some time of use. Running the Dell disk diagnostics never turned up any errors, so Dell...
