The machine hangs due to memory parity error. It happened very often. So I add a third fan inside the computer case. This helped a lot. But I still got some parity error about every hour or so. If I slide the cover about 2 inches back and still keep the third fan inside, the problem seems just gone away. Obviously, the machine is TOO HOT. Your case may be different. Since I can't live with computer case always opened, I called EPS several times Tuesday. Their tech. support guys were always busy. I was thinking of a motherboard replacement or something like that. Now that they never call back, I think I will just return the machine and get my money back. Can somebody recomment a good, trouble free 486/50DX or maybe 66/DX2?
