THE PROBLEM: This a Dual P3 550 with 1GB of ram, a Soyo board a Maxtor 40GB (and previously a WD 10GB) in a removable hd drawer and hard wired. This machine has an 8X AGP MSI Ti4200 and a generic DVDrom. I have installed the following OSes - Win2000, XP, TinyXP and Ubuntu, all with the same results. What happens is that regardless of OS and at various points in botting and installs, the machine seizes up. What I mean is that the mouse and keyboard fail to operate anything on the machine. The fans that are installed continue to work, the Installed AeroGate does not show high temps on any component and the eject on the DVD continues to work, but nothing on screen can be manipulated. Restarting does not correct the issue. The only thing that seems to work is jinstalling a fresh OS, but that is only temporary. I was able to get almost a full day out of the last TinyXP install, but that too seized up after some time. I thought it was perhaps something related to windows and installed Ubuntu, but also seizes.
WHAT I'VE DONE: As I said, I have tried multiple hard drives, multiple OSes, both hardwiring and using a removable hd drawer.
WHAT I WILL BE TRYING: I am going to remove everything but the bare necessities and see how it goes by adding things back in, but this will take longer than I have now, as I need to use this server this weekend, but its not looking good.
