Hi, im new here im a bit of a regular over at madonion but that place is no good for tech help anymore but hopefully I can make some new friends here!!!
Ill start with my specs:
AXP2000+
Epox 8K3A
512Mb XMS 3200
The thing is I wanted to put my ram through its paces so I cranked the fsb up a bit lol well it depends if u call 218 a bit Well my comp has never been the same. After i lowered the fsb back down to its usuall 179 i was having all sorts of probs corruption and random crashes to the BIOS in games. So naturally I thought it was the ram so I grudgingly picked up another stick of XMS3200 and lo and behold the problem remained even at 166 fsb
I asked for some help at MO and someone suggested to reformat due to possible corruption, i did it and the problem was still there no more corrupted files but crashing in games after 10 mins or so. I was a little disappointed at this stage and the next day when i tured on my comp i was greeted with the error message that a windows system file was corrupted, after this i realised that a part of my system is truly screwed and need to replace it, the problem is which part is it??? I hope its the mobo cos then i can get a decent one Nforce2 probably but after all this corruption business im not sure if its my mobo or my HDD???
Sorry to go on but i had to explain it as best i could i hope u understand, and please dont hesitate to offer any help!!!!
