Hey all,
Well I got the new KX7 and Corsair RAM and plugged in my old xp2200 (unlocked) and had all kinds of problems! I had to completely re-install Winxp 3 times because of errors stating corrupt \windows\system32\config\system
???????????????????????????????????????
It was stable enough for me to load WCPUID, MBM and when I started adding a little zip to the fsb (150) boom, error message and end of fun. Any ideas? And also the Abit bios is much more in-depth than my previous board and I'd like tips for some set-up configurations for my rig
xp2200, unlocked
KX7 333R
Corsair PC3200 256mb
20GB Maxtor 7200rpm
360w psu
GF3
:( :eek: :(

Well,
I've got some updated info. I had the system crash again! I'm really getting tired of these full window installs (4 in the last 24 hrs) This time, the machine gave me the blue screen and a message corrupt or missing file at
<windows root> \system32\config\system
Earlier it had called my C drive corrupt so I replaced it with a new Maxtor 740X. Still problems. I just reinstalled everything so I'm going to record all the settings and come back and post them.
