For those interested, I let the test utility run for day and it found nothing. I removed two older simms I had left in leaving the two new simms and that seemed to clear up the problem. It seems that even though the simms where of the same type, EDO 72pin, they were from different manufacturers nad there was a difference. I guess that they were not as compatible as everyone said.
