I had an A500 that refused to boot and gave a green screen RAM erorr.After much faffing around replacing and testing RAM chips it turned out one of hte caps on the 5V rail had gone bad and was causing the power line to the RAM to fluctuate.. After replacing all the caps (just to be on the fase side) the machine boots and runs without a problem.
