Swap out all the pieces of RAM and power the machine on to see if the RAM is bad. If you hook 2 pieces at a time in the same two slots and it works, swap with the other two slots and see if you have trouble.
If you don't have any issues on the first two slots, but you do on the 2nd two, it is most likely your moBo.
Pancreas and shaz bagl too.

hey @drave, revisiting this post
in the process of cleaning out my hard drive in anticipation for installing O/S on a fresh SSD, figure I will get all this RAM crap sorted while I do that
can I boot up my machine with no RAM sticks at all inserted? And manually add them in as I go to test?
