Good grief Eric .. save yourself some cash and anxiety and go with an AMD board and CPU.
They are far more forgiving, true they wont beat the Intel bench marks for sheer speed but trust me you wont even notice.

Well, before you run out and buy something try a CMOS update if you haven't.
Note: newest isn't always the best one so read the updates on them first.

Also, check that you don't have a bad chunk of ram, or it has a dirty connection, same with all peripherals, actually. Video card and so on. Take the memory out and back in a few times. Same with the cards. You would be shocked how many times I see loose connection problems, especially with older terminals. It's like a epidemic in older Rack farms (Server stacks, lots of them).
Although, you're probably right bout the old board.

There is a simple science to finding PC issues: process of elimination. You only need CPU and RAM to boot, after you check that add each component.

I think MouseITup and philomath are on to your problem. As your mobo gets older, the VRM (voltage regulators) get a bit tired and sometimes don't lay out enough volts soon enough for everything to run properly. Couple that with RAM that needs more and more volts as it gets older and - there your problem is. Sometimes the RAM works and sometime it doesn't.
You can fix this in a number of ways. a) bump up the ram voltage a notch in bios (easy), b) slow the ram down a bit in bios (not such a great idea) or c) try brand new RAM. I would try option a), it costs nothing. Beware though, this is a short term fix and your problem will return worse than ever.. RAM doesn't last forever. If you really want to do tests, then make up a Memtest +86 disk and boot to that and run a couple of passes, I'm sure it will fail. |
