perhaps anyone here can remember me.
i posted here about a month or so, because my system got instable.
it worked totally stable for 1.5 years, but now it crashes every day about 3-5 times.
my system config:
- asus a7v with via kt133 chipset
- amd athlon 900
- 2x 128mb (and 1x 512mb) ram
- 60gb ibm hd
- elsa gladiac gts (geforce2)
- sb live soundcard
- accton networkcard
- cdrom and cd-writer
- 250w power supply
1. the first problem was my computer hanging up with black screen from time to time. i removed the 512mb ram. that worked stable for a few weeks.
2. but then my computer crashed again, and also crashes relatively often. and something strange happens:
on bootup, during the ram checking - it checks all the ram and then continues checking again from 0mb - an endless loop.
also sometimes my hd attached to a ata100 isn't recognized.
i tried all 3 ram-blocks seperatly, i removed everything but one ramblock, the hd and the gladiac - nothing changed.
could that be a motherboard failure? has anyone experienced the same?
thanks a lot, simon.
