Actually, mine works off and on. When it does have issues, it has been showing RAU 8 during start up. Anyone ever seen this before? Anything I can check?

5v is proper, and bullet-proofing mod has been done on this board. Sometimes it works correctly, sometimes not.
 
Maybe it's saying "RAM 8" but the bad RAM is messing up the text?
Have you tried test mode?
 
Pole boards are NOTORIOUS for claiming a problem that isnt really the problem. There are some things you can do but be aware, you may make it worse...

reseat and clean all sockets IC's. If any of the sockets look iffy, replace them.

However, try swapping RAM 8 with RAM 7 first to see if the problem moves. My money is on that it wont.

Obvious, check the +5 and GND on both boards.
