AMD T-Bird 900 on MSI K7T Pro2A Woes...

[coskuner1]

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?

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

Thanks for the help!

This sounds like it might be a ram problem. With three different sticks in there you may have a bad one [at least bad with your Tbird]. That pc-100 I'm assuming is rather old and possibly cas3?

He knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake.

I don't have a T-bird, but the temp sounds OK from what I've read. Where in the reboot process does it hang.

yes the pc-100 is old, although I'm not sure if it is cas3. How do I find out?

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?

see my reply in motherboard board. There is an answer. I already pinpointed before you describe your sound problem. hmm how can you crosspost?
