I am still using the original BIOS the board came with, and recently started to experience some problems. Here is my setup:
EPoX 4G4A+
P4 1.6A
(2) 512mb Mushkin PC3000
Maxtor Atlas 10k III 18.4GB
LSI Logic U160 SCSI Card
ATi Radeon 8500LE 64mb
This is the my original post for this problem
I just recently purchased the 2nd stick of 512mb, and wanted to test the stability of my system. My system was running with no problems with one stick overclocked to 2.2GHz, so I immediately overclocked it to 2.2GHz after putting the 2nd stick in. I noticed it started to randomly hang, sometimes while I am surfing, sometimes while I am watching AVI movies, sometimes when it's not even being touched. Here is what I have done to try to fix it:
1. Back to default settings (not overclocked): The random freezes stopped, I am able to run Prime95 for hours with no problems. But 3DMark03 would crash immediately after it is started.
2. Try it with just one stick of memory only (the 1st one, then the 2nd one): Prime95 still runs great, but 3DMark still crashes.
So I am curious, which BIOS are you guys using? And what else could be causing 3DMark to crash? Could it be the power supply? The video card?
