I built a box for a friend over the weekend. I used a Epox 8T7A, 256 megs PC2100 Ram, 40 gig drive, Modem Blaster from Creative, and a Radeon 7500.
I set up users for everyone in thier household. I let the box burn in for almost 3 days, running 3dmark 2001 in a loop over nights, running prime95 and playing some games along with internet browsing and didn't have a single problem, no crashes, no lock ups nothing.
However, as soon as I hooked up the box for them, it locked up when switching users a couple times. Basically either I got a black screen, or just the desktop picture with no start bar or icons. After leaving it for a few minutes its still locked, and I have to do a manual shutdown as ALT-CTL-DEL dosn't work.
Any suggestions? They are not on a broadband connection.
