Sounds like my >1136MHz limit, but you shouldn't have a limit at 1.4g with that chip. Did you use 95/98 before ME with that computer?
It might be ME problem, as I HAD to use my ME yesterday and I had to use safemode to get it working... I hadn't touched my ME for like a month...

nada fresh format ME is the only operating system that has ever been on this computer ?

That being the case, I'm out of suggestions on the software side. Try a different mobo? Other RAM-chips? ...

I would try win 98SE straight. I had ME on my machine fresh install and got Windows Protection errors like twice a day. IT SUCKS THE BIG ONE. I was running my 800 T-bird at 910 (6.5X140) and figured it might be the high fsb. After I got my Swiftech mc462 I was running it at 8X125 or a 1 gig. With the same problems I even tried it at 8 X100. Never had a problem with win98se or now I'm running win2k.

Win me is armed with bells and wistles and also full of craps for me. I Installed couple times on my machine but later get tired of it... to many crashes...So Back to the 98 SE now and never look back again at ME.
