KT7A and XP2000+ Trying to make it stable

Does anyone know how to make this setup as stable as possible.

I get intermittent lock ups - no pattern to this, purely random.

I swapped from a Tbird 900, which was 100%

Thanks

 

Hi,

Sometimes random lock up may due to poor power supply unit. Check the
voltage to see if they are stable or borrow a good one from your friend to
test it.

Have fun.

 

Lower the FSB back down to 100MHz.

 

Try another mouse. The wires in the mouse cable becomes intermittent at the
point where it
enters the mouse body and can drive you crazy. I have experienced this three
times now.
I know this sounds silly, but give it a try. You might be able to bring on
the trouble by
giving the cable a wiggle at the mouse body entry point.

 

my system runs stably only @ 130 MHz and lower.
ABIT KT7A-Raid 1.0, T-Bred 1800+ and three memorysticks.

 

Try changing your bios settings in the DRAM DELAY to NONE, thats how I got
my KT7A 1.0 working stable at 133fsb with 1400+ xp with 3 memory sticks

 

Hey what do you know - I have changed that setting in the BIOS and its been
stable for 3 hours now.

I also found that playing divx movies usually beat the PC into a reset after
about 3 minutes or less. I have now played a full movie.

How did you come across this solution, trial and error ????

Thanks very much for the assistance.

Just a quick update - 100% stable, thanks again.

Hi Larissa!

It´s only the FSB. I tried several BIOS-setings and memorysticks.
With one or two i can rise the FSB up2 132MHz.
My old T-Bird 950 (100MHz typ) runs w/o problems @ 133MHz FSB.
