Try...

1. Remove the case cover and retest.
2. If 1 fails, install just one stick of RAM and retest.

Computer lock-up during deep scan

Thank you for your help! I tracked it down to my Nvidia Ge Force 8600 GT. I started receiving an error message that a display driver was having problems and had to close. So I tracked it down on the web. Nvidia is in process of exchanging it for new. Thank you again.
