Mixing memory speeds is a big no no i.m.h.o. BX boards were designed for use with
pc100 ram , cas 2 PC100 is the best you can get . however If your BX board is happy
with pc133 ! then use All Pc133 . ( cheap cas 3 pc133 is usually good cas 2 @ pc100
)
As a follow up to my original posting , the boot up missing or corrupt
ntfs.sys , hal.dll and blue screen system stopped problems , were not
down to a faulty P4 cpu , as I first thought . 2 days after my posting it
was back ! the cpu WAS causing my " game play reboots system " problem !
I changed the 512 meg pc800 for 256 meg of pc800 ecc memory , and the
startup problems were still there .
The eventual cure was provided by Microsoft . I installed service pack 1
, and all of the Critical updates , several of which refer to missing or
corrupt file at boot up problems . No problems since . hope this helps .
Regards Chris .
