Two days ago, I loaded up a save game from Doom3. As soon as the game loaded, my system froze. I also tried playing Heroes 3 of Might and Magic, Shadow of Death, and the game would either abort or cause my system to reboot within a few minutes of play.
To make a long story short, I was able to isolate the problem to the FSB speed... at 133MHz the problems happen... at 100MHz everything is stable. I have been running this system for a little over 2 years at 133MHz with no problems... and now all of a sudden, I have problems at 133 MHz FSB setting.
Hardware: (1)Soyo KT333 Dragon Ultra (black) (2)AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (3)nVidia GeForce 4 TI 4400 128MB (4) 1GB RAM - 2 x 512MB Corsair PC-2700 XMS
OS: Windows XP Pro w/SP2
Any ideas on how I can isolate this problem? I can run 2D windows applications w/o problems at either 100 or 133 MHz FSB.
There are 10 types of people... those that understand binary... and those that don't!
