well, I'm sure that I did this, but:
because I wasn't sure if I tried to switch the
1GB-DIMMs in their slots I tried this: it works!

mmmmh, then I switch back the DIMMs: it works!

strange!

there's no doubt, that the D800 answered last time
with a blinking LED next the power-switch (I think,
the middle one).

I then checked the ram with memtest which doesn't show
any error.

well in the moment of disfunction there was no
possibility to boot anything. as described above, the
bios signaled an error...

sorry, that my first post hasn't described this more
clear...

why the problem doesn't exist any more --- I don't
know. I'm sure, I haven't done anything wrong first
time (I'm building systems for 15 years).

thanks for your quick reply!
