cheers

Works like a dream. I installed the chipset heatsink and fan yesterday after lunch and I'v been running the BurnIn test ever since with no problems and no errors.

cheers, wolfram

hopefully i can return the favor some day

okay, the northbridge is getting a fan.... after lunch of course....

thx for input wolfram, ttyl

Thx for the welcome hyperspace!

Caps are fine, will check IRQs 2nite. It locks up right when the HDD format starts on a full install.

thx 4 the input folks

During install for Win2K, XP Pro, and also W98SE the system locks up. It also happens during install of RH v7.2. I've tried 2 separate HDDs and even put in a brand new PSU. Memory has been changed too. The only thing left that might be the problem is one, if not both, CPUs. Does anyone have any othe...
