Blizzard Memory Problems

[amigakit]

What Blizzard model do you have? Have you tried re-seating the SIMM ensuring that all the contacts are making good connection?

Describe what happends when it crashes.

Boot from a standard Workbench Disk and just observe the computer for a while.  Avoid using the hard disk, but instead copy the Workbench floppy disk to the RAM Disk and try and fill it.  Tell me if the Amiga crashes, if it doesn't then consider if it is possible that the hard disk cable became dislodged when you installed the memory.  Check the IDE cable at the source (IDE interface) and at the hard disk.

In my opinion the best way to check memory is to completely fill the RAM disk and then empty it by deleting the contents.  

If the memory is defective, it will crash when the RAM disk is filled/purged.

BTW: Dont fill the RAM disk with Hard Drive contents as we that will not definitevely identify any problems!  I would suggest opening the RAM disk, then copying the contents of the Workbench disk into it, highlight them and press Amiga-C lots of times until the 64MB is filled.  Then reverse the process by deleting the contents.

Your Samsung memory was checked this way on a BlizzardPPC before despatch.
