My first build ever and I am not an overclocker or gamer, so please enlighten me on all points.
I am getting 0x0000004e and 0x0000009c (blue screen) errors which seem to indicate a hardware problem. Did a 10 hour stability torture test (CPU Stability), but no discernable hardware crashes under the test!?
The Rig:
K8T Neo FSR Ver. 1 (Bios 1.8)
Athlon64 3000+ Retail Box (ADA3000AEP4AX)
1Gb Mushkin Basic Running at spec on auto in bios.
Samsung 160Gb SATA (Using Via Raid Tool - One Master)
WD 1600JB ATA100
Nvidia Geforce2 MX200
Tagan 380W PSU (22W capable across 12+) Tested and running in spec.
XP Pro SP1
Running at basic auto settings, high, not optimal performance, with cool and quiet.
I installed MSI WMInfo (below) and got a shock this morning.
Problem 1: The Processor is Running at 1000Mhz???
Problem 2: This Processor Number (above) indicates it is Power management (C&Q) capable, but WMInfo says NO. I thought anything ending above O (X) is good to go for C&Q !!!????? I have been running C&Q in the Bios, with minimum power mangagement setting in XP Pro. Am I wrong? Did I get stuck with an older model that can't use C&Q? My temps, if the readings are correct, average 43c so I don' think heat is a problem.
Why is this thing running at 1000Mhz? Did I get stuck with an older model without C&Q? Is this thing damaged or just need bios adjustments? Is this the source of the crashes?
