Ok i just got a new mother board and cpu for christmas:athlon xp1900+ and msi k7t266-ru

i have been running windows 2000 for the last 2 days and i just installed a new fan it boots then i go into bios everything works ok and everything looks good adn then when i go to boot to win 2k it freezes at startup. I have tried going into safe mode and everything and i dont know what to do. Does anyone know what could cause this but right before i shut here down i installed a divx codec could that be the problem and if so what should i do? But i cant bot at all even in safe mode. please help me?

When you say you installed a new fan what exactly do you mean?

[wildbilly2k]

i meant a new fan and heatsink on the cpu but it all looks good and no errors in bios

[Placid]

Boot into bios and check the cpu temp in the bios and watch it for a few mins until it stops rising, if it gets to over 50c shut it off.

well it likes to sit around 47 but i dnt think that is good for a sk6 with a ystech 40cfm fan on it

[wildbilly2k]

should i try putting the old heat sink back on it

[Placid]

47c does seem high for a bios reading.
Well you can put you other heatsink on or try putting the sk6 on again.
Did you use the "pad" that comes with the sk6 or thermal compound?

remove the pad if you havn't already, and replace it w/ some good Thermal Goo, like ASII or AA. Also, make sure your heatsink is seated correctly.

what u mean pad u mean that stuff that melts around the core after use? sometimes yellow in color?

Conflicts, Take out every single thing except your Videocard

see if it works, Most likely it's your soundcard.

[wildbilly2k]

actually i had as2 on it but the clip is kindaa broken on my heatsink so i put another one in and it touched the core and now it works just dandy

Good for you. Good luck.
