Hi,

I bought an Amiga 500 a couple of weeks ago which included a memory expansion in the expansion slot underneath. While running the computer, I got a couple of Guru Meditation errors. Not always, but often enough to become paranoid. I removed the memory expansion and did not get any errors at all. I inserted the memory again and I started getting errors again.

Some of the errors I got:

I got this error when I booted the computer without a floppy in the drive. Not sure, but it might be 'illegal instruction'.
00000004.OOCO1570

And I got this when I was loading a game. The code indicates 'free twice'.
81000009.265F48F1

The memory expansion is of model HE500 and appears to include a clock.

Is this an indication of faulty expansion memory, and if so, how can I do a memory check to verify the integrity of the memory?

Thank you for your help.

Your clock battery is leaking acid everywhere and destroying the molecular cohesion.

His Neutrinos are leaking too.  And he is now heavily irradiated.  He will probably grow a 3rd eyeball or develop ESP or turn blue or some other mutation any day now. :laugh1:

If he was to reroute power from DF1: DF2: and DF3: into the motherboard then it might start working again.  Or replacing the power supply could fix the problem.   It might be old and weak.
