It's possibly the no-name memory. I experienced that memory and memory isn't the same. Since *nix boxes do take your box to the outer limits, slight memory incompatibilities could become a problem. The same goes for music samplers ... you read on the box expandable with normal sdram or something similar, but if you don't use a major brand on the list of the manufacturer and with that chip number, etc... you will end up with an unstable device. To bad when its yours and you didn't purchased the sticks.
