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.
