[Ti] Ti 800 PRAM

I would also give a hard look at my memory chips as the other poster  
notes. If you have more than one chip pull one and see what happens.  
There is some software you can download "rember" that can check  
memory (www.versiontracker.com). Bad memory can produce all sorts of  
problems and should be one the first things to look at.
