Faulty 850 MHz TBirds

[Guest]

Has anybody heard about this cause i got two of those ?
One does everything except mp3-s and the other one freezes
from anything.
Tryed them on different mobos - same.
Mobos work with durons or other t-birds.

Have you checked the cores to make sure that there are no cracks or chips, have had this happen duron 700 one corner chiped very small seemed to work fine but chrashes from time to time at 700mhz, same sys with durron 850@1008 rock solid.

What sound card are you using?

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

my tbird 850 is like a tank. I have the entire south side of the core chipped (it looks like a fault line), and it works great. OC's to 1.05Ghz+ w/no problem.

Explain that quality...

Yes, I'm the BOY who got Win98 to load in under 10 sec... ah....

what board is it? I seem to remember (I never had the problem mywelf) that some via chipsets had these probs with the s/blaster live, from what I remember the latest 4 in 1's sort it.

what are your CPU temperatures?
it seems like it could be an overheating issue, or also your power supplies, are they 300 watt? and are they AMD certified
