I'm very confused and am fishing for suggestions...
Here's the scoop:
System:
Motherboard Asus A7V266E That's with the KT266A chipset
Athlon XP 1900+
2 Dimms of 512 meg PC 2100 Ram
Problem:
When my system is clocked at 133 MHz FSB and 133 MHz RAM I experiance alot of random crashing
when my system is clocked at 100 MHz FSB and 100 MHz RAM the system seems quite stable
When my sytem is clocked at 133 MHz FSB and 100 MHz Ram (3/4 multiplyer) lots of random crashes.
Note: all speeds are what the bios say's, the actually speed will of course be doubled...
Questions:
Could this be a motherboad problem, and how do I check for it?
Could this be a Proceesor problem, and how would I check?
Could this be a Ram issues? even thought with RAM clocked at 100 and FSB at 133 it still crashes?
or could this be a software problem (I'm running win2k) is it time to format?
or, could this be a diffrent component malfunctioning? such as the video card or nic or some such thing? I would assume not on this because the clock on these stays the same regardless of the FSB because the multiplyers work correctly...
Unfortunalty I don't have alot of other hardware around to try and swap things around and find the problem... so it'd be really helpfull if any checking could be done with just the system I have...
