What I do to get rid of the errors is give the 7300 mother board a good dusting..It seems that "dust bunnies" jump around the mother board and if some of the bigger bunnies get across a couple of bits in memory you get an error. Installing the new fans most likley is stiring up more dust than normal. If you have 2 fans on your PC you might do bettery by putting a filter in place of one fan and the remaining fan do the work. 3B1's and upgraded 7300 only have 1 fan on the (power supply) side of the machine and a sponge filter fills the other slot.. Either way, you can get yourself a compressed air bottle and blow the the dust bunnies away....(waste'em...) Seem to help my machine.. -- Gary W.
