I don't know if someone can help, me but I've allready tried allot of things, but nothing seems to work indefinatly. The Problem is as follow's, it seems that every 10 hours or so my system seems to have the urge to crash without warning. Also it crashes after about 10 minutes of playing games. As you can see this is really really really annoying.
What may be a bit stranger (for me it is) is the fact that it only crashes when i set the FSB to 133MHz, if I set it to 100MHz I can run the system for days without a single problem. I have read in newsgroups, forums,... that I'm not the only one with this problem (also a friend of mine has the problem with an MSI, and another friend with an I-don't-know-what MB). Same CPU's diffrent MB's, Same problems (do I see a resemblance here?).
Anyway I have tried allot, I have installed al the latest drivers and I am running the latest BIOS. I fiddled with the BIOS here and there, changing states, but always finding that the system crashes immediatly after startup, or any other thing. Also I changed every single important piece of Hardware except the Motherboard, so I'm fairly sure that the hardware is in 'normal' working order (except for the motherboard).
So does anybody know how to solve this??? (You'd be my hero, really!)
System specs are:
Mainboard: KG7 (normal)
CPU: Athlon XP 2000+ (average temprature:
50�C)
RAM: 2x PC2100 256MB
1x PC2700 512MB
Powersupply: 400W Dual-Fan Q-tec
AGP: AOpen GeForce TI4200 (128MB) running @ 4x
PCI: - Creative Soundblaster 5.1 Live! (bulk)
- Guillemot Maxi PCI3 TV-thingy
- Realtec 100/10Mbps
HD: * SeaGate Baracuda IV 60GB (Pri Master)
* Maxtor 20GB (old one) (Pri Slave)
CD: * Creative Encore 12x DVD (Sec Master)
* HP CDRW 8x/4x/32x (Sec Slave) => Could be the other way round Master <=> Slave
