    Post T Bird 900 Mhz and MSI K7T Pro2A problem.

    Hi all...

    I just upgraded my computer to a T Bird 900 Mhz and MSI K7T Pro2A Motherboard. The initial system was an ASUS P3B-F with a PIII-450.
    Other things on the system: Hercules Prophet II MX, Pioneer DVD RAM, HP CD-RW, 128 MB PC-133 RAM, 2 x 64 MB PC-100 RAM. I'm running it at 100 Mhz, Diamond Monster Sound MX-300

    Since this upgrade, my computer hangs on reboots 2 out of 3 times. Any suggestions to making my system more stable? Any ideas on testing the stability of the system?

    Also the temperature of the chip is at 36C/96F. Is that normal?

    Thanks for the help!

    Cool

    The temp. sounds good but the memory is not to good, AMD chips are pickey about memory and not only do you have PC100 and PC133 but you have different sizes. I think I would try the 128 of PC133 you have alone and see, this may help but the best PC133 is what is needed in this system.

    Thanks for the reply. I think I can rule out the memory. I tried all three sticks independently and I still get the same results. Also the hangs always occur around the same time the windows 98 start-up sound. Could this be significant?
