Well, I got new RAM cross-shipped out here (paid $$$ to get it fedex'd next day), and so far so good. PC was running yesterday probably 10+ hours without an incident, including mucho multitasking and a full AV scan. Startup this morning...

Anyone have any thoughts on cutting through the BS with the Sager tech support folks. The callback thing is awfully tough at times. I'm waiting on an email from them so I can get this RAM cross shipped, but nothing has shown for 4...

Grantski, I've talked to Sager and am having a new set of RAM shipped my way. We'll see what happens... VTdesmond

Grantski, Yes, in fact they are Apacer brand memory. Good to know about this. Bad news by the way. This morning I booted my PC (on the one "good" DIMM) and got that blinking cursor failed boot thing--the one I attributed...

I'm in the midst of a possible disk-related meltdown with my 8890, so MobMeter could be a lifesaver. So far the disk has passed all the device tests (Chkdsk and the Hitachi fitness test utility). But I'm wondering if perhaps heat...

Folks, I'm having real trouble with my 8890, which has been an absolute dream until just this month. (it's 4 months old and under warranty, thankfully). I've been lurking these forums since before my purchase and have been amazed by the...
