You mention "removing memory" so I imagine that means taking out one of 
the boards, then the other, etc.? Have you tried putting in new memory 
from a different manufacturer? I've had some problems like that with bad 
memory. when it works, it works, but every once in a while it just 
suddenly shuts down. The three times I've had that happen (twice with 
Dell and once with a Hitachi), changing the memory boards fixed the problem.
Incidentally, the last time that happened, the bad Apacer (sp?) boards 
were replaced with used PQI boards that have been working flawlessly for 
about six months now.
