Have had problems for ages on a 18-month-old system which my bro uses (for those in the UK, it's a Mesh), but have finally decided to sort them out......
it locks-up online - mouse + keyboard freezes and sound cycles (0.5sec repeats)
averages 25min between lock-ups in IE, OE and Day Of Defeat (which is really p1ssing my brother off)
don't have too many problems offline (standard occasional BSOD)
have already tried swapping my own (perfectly working) modem into the system but to no avail. The manufacturers have put a new mobo in and reinstalled Windows (basically Windows corrupted itself when I was at university)
simple plan would be to reinstall Windows and update all the drivers etc, but does anyone have any experience/knowledge of similar problems?
any suggestions would be much appreciated............
Spec:
AMD T-Bird 900Mhz (at default - 9*100 @ 1.75V)
- Temp: Asus Probe records 60C, SiSoft Sandra reports 50C
(probably 60C - it's a crappy HSF and mobo temp is 31C)
Asus A7V KT133 rev1.04
not sure if KT133A - WCPUID reckons it is, but it's got a VIA VT82C686A Southbridge and I thought that was only with the original KT133 Northbridge?
does ACPI Bios Revision 1007 make sense?
Via 4-in-1 4.35
1*256MB Crucial (Micron RAM) set to 3T.2T.2T
20GB IBM DTLA-305020
Asus V7100(T) GF2MX 32MB
- methinks Detonator 4.13? AA off.
Creative Labs SB Audio PCI
Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-115
Conexant HCF V90 56K PCI Modem
Realtek PCI NIC
Win 98SE
PSU is a 250W Chieftec - SiSoft Sandra reports:
CPU Core = 1.76V
Aux Voltage = 0.11V
+3.3 = 3.54V
+5 = 4.89V
+12 = 12.10V
-12 = -12.10V
-5 = -5.04V
