Just an addition to this: It could be bad HW or just badly seated HW, there's
also a rare case when a single GE machine gets upgrade to a dual GE machine (
eg Hi Impact to Max Impact or low end OCTANE to MXI ), if the extra, duplicate
TRAM doesn't get added then you get this effect. I would advise caution before
messing with the TRAM boards, they're very sensitive to static and physical
damage so if you have any doubts about your HW then please log a support call.

Cheers
Rob
