All,
As I said earlier, I replaced the Gigibyte mobo and OCZ stick for
KX7 333R and Corsair pc3200C2, Since I fired it uo and put a new install of xp on it, I've had nothing but problems! I've had to reinstall XP 4 times, as it continually has corrupt/missing file errors about <windows root> \system32\ntokrnl.exe or
\windows\system32\config\system I also installed a new HDD
These errors are non recoverable and the system will not re-boot into windows no matter what I do with the bios (defaults)
It does this when I start messing with FSB, at 150 it dies. It's some Windows XP related problem??? When I toggle through the user definable CPU types it displays xp2100/xp2200, so I think it's a current enough mobo to recognize the unlocked xp2200. I just changed the bios to 133 X 10 and it's still running. Here's all
SoftmenuII
CPU Op Speed - User Define
CPU FSB - 133
Ratio (FSB:AGP:PCI) - 4:2:1
Multiplier - 10
Speed Error - Dis
Enhance for benchmarks - dis
DRAM clock - by spd
Dram timing - manual
Cas - 2.5
Bank Inter - dis
Trp - 3t
Tras - 6t
Trcd - 3t
Dram Queu - 4 level
DRAM command - 2t command
I know the memory and board are good for more, but I'm afraid to crash windows again...Do you guys see anything?? Should I flash the latest bios?? And how? The website gives very nebulous directions on flashing the bios. Is Win XP unstable?? Any suggestions please!!
F&S
