I had a similar problem on my system. I had a 386 33Mhz with 8 Meg of RAM. 4 of
which came with the system and another 4 I bought later. It turned out that the
first 4 Meg was 80ns and the second 4Meg was 70ns. When you have 2 different
speeds of RAM the faster RAM has to be first followed by the slower RAM. That
solved my problem and it never crashed again.
