The "GLOD" doesn't really happen on the 5300/190. Don't bother checking the PC card cage; it is soldered directly to the motherboard. I would guess it to be related to the PDS card (video out board) not being fully seated. On the 5300, this could also be because the PMU board isn't seated, but the 190 doesn't have a separate PMU - it's integrated onto the motherboard. In general, I second the suggestion of reseating everything with the most likely culprit being the PDS card. And if you reseat the PDS card, you'll have to reseat everything else along the way, anyway.

If it were incompatible RAM or defective RAM, you would most likely hear the chimes of death when trying to boot it instead of getting GLOD. (Yes, you can have incompatible RAM.) The only way I can think you'd end up with GLOD is if you have a really nasty short on the RAM card (or maybe it isn't seated).

Good luck!

Peace,
