Hi,
I've been reading this thread for quite some time today, and would like to thank all for the contributed info.
I have a problem that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere yet, maybe someone here can help:
My system does not boot in quite a big percentage of the cases (let's say 50%), however after is has booted (to XP) I can't crash it with any stress test. Games, benchmarks, stress test apps pass without problems.
I have flashed the f5
bios, no change. The system is not overclocked at all, failsafe settings applied.
I haven't tried removing all but one memory sticks, will try that soon.
The way it usually hangs during boot are one of the followings:
* doesn't get to
post (vidcard fan spins up and doesn't spin down like at successful boots)
* hangs on the
bios startup screen after the memory xxx OK line
* hangs on the xp boot screen
Have anyone seen something like this? Any suggestions?
(I hope this board displays my system specs, will
post it later if does not)
