Type 11 errors are usually down to (pause for to create tension ...)
loose RAM chips !
Yes, folks. If you have untrackable type 11 errors (and I mean
untrackable ... you should have tried INITs, new systems, etc.)
you may well have loose RAM.
Things to try: turn your system off, pick it up, shake it. Any
change ? Try giving it a sharp thump it while it's on (preferably
with the hard disk in powered down). Do you get an instant Type 11 ?
If you're brave, open it up, take out the memory clean the contacts
with a rubber, and put the chips back in all swapped around. Any
change ? If you're not brave, pay me and I'll do it for you (and
help to diagnose the problem if it's not due to loose RAM).
Simon.
