I just upgraded my system to an AMD 2600xp, Asus A7N8x Deluxe, Coolmaster X-Dreams CPU fan, 2 x 80mm CoolMaster case fans, 450w Antec Power Supply, 2 x 512mb pc2700ddr for dual channel, ATI Radeon 7500 128mb ddr, ATI TV Wonder, Aopen 48x12x50 cd-rw, (Old hardware I kept)Creative 12x DVD, 2 x 40gb 7200rpm WD hard drives (waiting on the new SATA 10,000 hard drives to arrive), 3.5 floppy, very old ATX thumbscrew case from my first ATX (PII 350mhz), Running XP home! Everything running grrrrreat!
Anyway, upgraded my sons computer with my old hardware. AMD 1.4, CoolMaster CPU fan, Asus A7M266, 2 x 256mb pc2100ddr, Sparkle 350w power supply, 2 x 80mm CoolMaster, ATI 32mb Rage Fury Pro, Aopen 12x10x32 cd-rw. (Hardware he kept) LG 16x DVD, Netgear 10/100 LAN, 15gb 7200rpm WD hard drive, Internal 100mb ZIP & his old ATX case. He's running WindowsME.
Everything went fine with the upgrade. I did find 1 proble. After Windows detected the new hardware I was prompted to restart. When restarting the System HANGS! I can turn the computer Off by holding the power button in for 10 seconds, then turn it back on with the power button. Sometimes the Reset button will work but not always. Hardware or Software???? Any ideas appreciated.
