Hi, the three bees mean that you have either a memory failure or conflict with memory. I choose the later, please try to remove all 256k dips ic from the socket may located as bank 0 /bank 1 including the parity check ic. Then install the 4 1 meg. SIMMs and that will eliminate the confict between the old rams and the SIMMs. Reboot and hopefully it eliminate the problems. Good try.
