Looking for some help with FSB settings on:
Asus A7V133 T-Bird 1gig/200 AVIAR/Y
ATI Expert99 32meg AGP
1 pc - 128 meg Crucial PC133 @ 3-3-3
Taisol HSF w/26cfm fan - SK6 due next week
WD 10 gig ATA100 & WD 20.5 gig ATA66
Plextor 12-10-32 & Mitsumi 48x cd-rom
Sound Blaster PCI512 & Diamond SupraMax 56k

10 * 100 SDRAM @ 100 -- stable
8 * 133 SDRAM @ 133 - screensaver lock system - reset button time
10 * 133 SDRAM @ 133 - screensaver lock system - reset button time

There have been many other settings, some lock it up and some don't.
Letting the screen saver start seems to be the best way I have of checking this. It is randon other times. At the higher clock speeds the temp is running about 50-51c so I don't think it is that.
I am including a screenshot of the memory data from SiSoft. Can anyone tell if that could be holding me back? I thought I was buying some quality ram when it came from Crucial!
Could it be the video card? I know it isn't the latest but good enough for me!
maybe the SK6 will keep the temps down but again, I don't think that is it.

Thanks for any suggestions.
 
I've got an A7V133 set up very similar to yours. Sound Blaster, Western Digital, Plextor etc. The two biggest differences I see are the video card and the hsf (I've got a Voodoo 3 and a Global Win WBK38 ). I've got three sticks of 256MBs Micron PC133 at CAS 2, so I don't think its your memory (unless it's faulty). Like the above post, I think that I'd look at the video card myself.

Good Luck!

Also if you don't wana buy a new card then the next best thing is just to up the VI/O votage :) You can go as high as 3.98 if you short all the VI/O pins with one object

I dont think that would be a solution since it will fry ram or other components at such a high vio voltage. I would be leaving it at 1.45 which is default on those boards.
