ak77-8x-max upgrade probs

External Since: Aug 30, 2003 Posts: 3

AK77-8X-Max with latest r1.11 bio, just upgraded from an XP1700+ oem to
a barton XP2500+ retail w/ no overclocking (eg jumpered to 166 and
autosensed correctly)

XP spontaneously reboots after maybe five minutes at most, comes back
telling me to report a serious crash to MS$ and mumbles about a driver
problem. No blue screen, no warning, just see the box restart/reset the
TFT/recycle the drive lights, the machine was stable and was only
rebooted monthly or thereabouts up to this point ...

Any ideas? Perhaps the PSU is the issue, but I did not think the two
chips had any real difference in power draw ...

i guess you should tell us more what kind of video card what os and what
kind of memory any devices you have power supply.

what kind of ram do you have? i have almost the same rig no probs check
memory speed ddr 3200 would be best ddr 2700 should work unless you
push it 200 then ddr 3200 or better
