Useful link. Thanks.

When I run memtest I get what looks like a register dump and both floppy and
hard drive lights stay on permanently. I certainly don't get anything like
the screenshots on the memtest website.

I'll try it again this evening on my other working box but this makes me
suspect the memory stick further.

I can get to the BIOS if I use the TNT2 card - all the others now barf at

Incidentally, I tried to burn a DVD this weekend using NERO. All attempts
have failed - the burn succeeds but during the verify the box restarts.

I've used three different media - all with the same result.

Could it be my 512Mb RAM stick that's going bye bye?

Maybe. Download memtest86 or memtest86+ and run it overnight.
