This morning, Ultra (the home computer) crashed hard. Powering off and on left me with nothing but fans and three long beeps. Luckily I had my old system upstairs and I was able to discover that on the intel mobos, that indicates a memory problem. I reseated the memory, rebooted, and everything works just damnfinepeachy. Evidently when I installed the new video card, I may have inadvertently loosened the RAM. All is well now. Carry on.
