New System Freeze (Windows 98) Posted by radzo on 9/01/2001: I just bought a computer from actualpc.com. A bare bones Athlon system with 1.4 ghz processor and 256 mb RAM and 266 BUS speed. I added my own hard drive (WD 20.5gb, 7200rpm), DVD (Panasonic 16x), CD Burner (Acer 8x4x32), Soundcard (Soundblaster Live! MP3), Video card (GeForce 32mb), and network card. I have formatted and installed windows 3 or 4 times on this setup already and still no go. It works fine in safe mode, but when everything is loaded (drivers only) it freezes as soon as it has loaded everything. I am thinking that it may be the memory, but I am looking for your ideas. The company I bought it for will not respond (perhaps there e-mail and phone system are down) so I am searching for answers! Please help! nocrash.com

nocrash.com Windows protection error (possibly memory related) Posted by Jman on 2/06/2001: OS : WIndows Me System: AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz Asus A7V KT133 Motherboard 128 Mb PC-133 Ram When i first got my computer, the dram speed and processor multiplier speed was set to 100 Mhz (WIndows already installed). I changed the dram speed to 133 Mhz in my bios settings in accordance with my PC 133 ram. Whenever I changed the settings, windows would come up with the blue screen of death message "Windows Protection error, please reboot the computer" during the startup. I changed the settings of a dram speed in bios to see whether it actually affected stability ( currently now at 133 mhz). At first it worked fine after rebooting. After some time, however the blue screen of death started appearing after shutting down and the computer cannot shut down properly and scan disk always appears after restarting. When i tried to install win Me it told me that i had not enough conventional memory ?? Anyway for my system specs my comp seems to run a tad slower than it should and it might be related to the memory settings. Please help. That blue screen is driving me crazy. Thanks!
