T Bird 900 Mhz and MSI K7T Pro2A problem...

[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 to making my system more stable?

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

Thanks for the help!

Try using only the PC133 or only the PC100 memory, but not both.

I have same cpu and motherboard. It would be your sound card conflicting with Via chipset. download latest 4-in-1 driver from www.viatech.com and if that doesn't fix the problem, try to isolate problem: try to take out the cards(audio, network card) one by one and see which one causes the problem. As long as you set your ram speed to 100Mhz, you don't need to change your ram.

Oh I forgot: I read the posting saying that After installation of Vortex 2 reference driver for Win9X instead of driver from the manufacturer, the problem was solved. Get driver from www.vortexofsound.com. Hope this helps you. good luck.
