If it's a modern machine then most of the memory channels are 2 or even 3 DIMM's wide. Consult you manual as to whether you can run less than pairs or DIMMS. If you have 4 DIMM's installed then I'd consider removing two, testing two, testing the other two, and then if you see a problem testing all the combinations until you figure out which one is causing the error. Good luck, Mark
