Try taking the 72pin 4Mb SIMM out - just to see if the problems go away.
I suspect that the motherboard expects both 72pin simms to be the same
size.... I had a board that had 4x30pin slots and 2x72pin - it never
occurred to me that you could mix the 72pins... I read for a different
(486) motherboard that you can have one or both of a 72pin pair filled,
but with both they must be the same simms.
