Q: I recently built an Athlon XP 2100 + system on a Chaintech Apogee 7VJL Deluxe MB.
I had some stability problems initially with the system restarts and random BSOD. Usually during the memory-intensive operations, SiSandra . 3dmark etc.
The problem seems to have gone away for the most part, since the increase in tension vdimm 2.8.
The thing I know see now is some stability problems when using CPU-intensive activities, using the MBM5 Notice of the cpu temp rises quickly when pushed 0.
Normal idle temp 49c but I can look past 55c move very quickly when using the CPU.
I think my fist mistake was the heat that was connected to the CPU, I was told to remove this stuff and some Artic Silver used 0.
I also have three pathetic noname case fans that I will be replaced with Thermaltake A1357 DC Smart Case Fan II 0.
I hope that this might be the problem- solve an opinion on what I may be missing?
Also if anyone out there has this same uing Board. I am unable to activate the onboard game port, bios shows it as a handicap and not an
enable institution. I looked across the board, and in the manual and no jumpers are shown this.
Any change suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Re:ok, going to get the latest drivers.
I got bored while waiting and stripp the computer apart and then put it back to gether again.. It's working now.
Bad connections maybe ?
Kinda at a loss for what just happened.
Thanks for the help though.
Will see how long it holds
Re:heh. yeah i was just gonna say get the lastest drivers when i BSDed!
then again, im using beta DX9 and beta Catalyst drivers. at any rate, you might wanna check out:
www.amdmb.com (http://www.amdmb.com)
because they have a very active and extensive forum for hardware troubleshooting.
Re:Make sure you have you have all the latest drivers(esp mobo chipset). Not just the ones that came on the cd. Also by chance what OS are you running?
P.S. Those temps don't seem too bad
Re:Thing have now gotten worse, random lockups, unable to get onboard lan to work. many windows problems and extremely slow operation.
Hard drive seems to be at a crawl somtimes, programs crash alot now. Or just stop doing anything.
And lucky for me wife thru out box MB came in..:)
This computer has been having stability problems since I recieved the MB
I think its dying.
I put Arctic Silver on thecpu and temps been around 47c according to mbm5

was using onboard lan. now not working
Onboard audio being used
512 kingston pc2700 ram
PS is a turbolink 350w
If its is the motherboard, what recomendations do you have for a stable board for the 2100+ athlon.
thanks, as I write from my sons computer
Re:sounds like maybe your power supply is not up to snuff. that may be causing the reboots. but looking at your temps, it looks as if you are having heat probs. are you crashing at all because 55C is high? on my machine, i would crash at 55-56C.
the reboots sound like a lack of power prob though. what other things do you have within the system?
