Finally got in touch with Tankersley.  He would
like to wait until summer, when this problem will
be resolved with a replacement.  He would like us
to hold on to the iMac so that people don't try to
use it in the lab.  iMac is on the PDR shelf with
a note afixed.  

Zach tested the RAM in other iMac, ran just fine.
 At this point I think its something else wrong in
the computer.

Tried different configurations with the RAM in
question, the Apple Hardware Test froze every
time, followed by 3 beeps.  Tried new Ram in
computer, same result.  After a while, the
computer overheated and wouldn't boot.  

Was in the process of trying old ram in other
computers, but ran out of time.  

Lexie is doing testing and will update with a status

This is a recurring issue (see previous tasks
attached to the WOU number).  Tankersley knows it
is past warranty and is willing to see if he can
find funding for repair if need be.  It has passed
previous hardware tests and we usually get it to
work after some fiddling. We believe it to be
somehow related to RAM. I will run hardware
troubleshooting again.

Passing task along to Megan for repair administration.

Task reassigned to Lexie Widmer.
