I have an unusual problem. My system keeps locking up. I have solved the problem by dropping my cpu from (1ghz-133fsb sdram-133) to (500mhz-66fsb sdram-66) (ouch!!!!!!) I'm trying to narrow my problem. Could it be ram, video card, or cpu running hot?
OLD System VD133Pro CPU 7.5 Multiplier 133FSB = 997MHZ RAM Nanya 512MB 2 40Gig HD's 1 160Gig HD 2 Memorex Dual Layer DVD Burners OS Windows 2000 Professional
is cpu a 1gig & you have proper ratio x fsb? is cpu fan running alright & is does it make a groaning noise when 1st starting up. what is usual time to lockup if computer running normal programs
It's a "1Gig", Intel decided to make a 133fsb with a 7.5 multiplier instead of it's usual 100fsb and 10 multiplier No strange noise, fans are running fine. I removed the cpu heatsink, cleaned it and reaplied a thin layer of gook Booted into mem86 and found no problems CPU doesn't go above 115-120Farenheit I have a copper core heatsink Fan runs at 5600RPMs (not very quiet) When burning DVDs from images, encoding or transcoding video, or running constantly for about 1-2 hours it will lock up.
