Update: Today, it decided (for kicks and giggles) to die again!
I tracked the problem down to one of my RAM sticks, which had liberated itself from its heat spreader, and refuses to function. Now, I'm stuck with 2GB of
RAM for the next week, because my dual-channel setup will POST, load Windows, pause before bringing up the login screen, and then go back to POSTing in an
infinite loop if I try to run on all 3 working 1GB sticks.
(By the way, have you ever tried to remove a RAM stick that's conveniently located behind a GPU brace (2'' wide strut running up the length of the
case)? It's not fun.)
