• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Tech help. Feel like a newbie.

Read my sig... i'm not a newbie.

:/

Here's the deal - building a system for my dad. Has a Barton 2500 in it (old one, was in my system stable at 2000 - went to 2200, but left at 2000 at stock voltage - i get a mobile 2400 out of the deal :)).

MB: Abit NF7
Vid: GF2MX400 PCI
RAM: 2x256 PC3200 Apacer
cdrom, floppy, 160gig seagate, 300w new enermax power supply.

I get through random amounts of xp setup and BAMMO bsod.

One thing that seems to have helped was to change from stock 166 bus speed to a 200 bus, leaving it at 1800 for the setup at least, but it's not getting too far.

Next step, since that seemed to help, was to assume a stick of ram bad, and pull one. might have helped. we'll see.

right now i am looking at it copying files for the 7th time, and i am sure it's going to lock.

hasn't yet.

walking away. brb.


system rebooted itself.
hm.
HOLY COW. XP is loading.


well, thanks for your help, [H] crew.
:)

er....
