When I cold boot and run windows I get the following message,

PARITY ERROR
SYSTEM HALTED

but if I warm boot, windows runs fine.

Thinking this was a RAM Hardware problem, I took it to my PC dealer.
They say all hardware checks out fine and that I'm probably loading
too much in conventional mem. I took out everything but Win3.1 and
still get the message on cold boot. Any Ideas?
