Firstly, this page has helped alot - maybe I can add some more... My setup: A7N8X-E
Deluxe, 2x 512MB 3200 DDR Crucial RAM (certified and tested for this board), AMD
XP3200 Barton and XP Professional SP1 I too was suffering all the same types of problems:
- Random Reboots and BSOD often indicating win32k.sys - Pagefile errors - Errors
after clean installs I tried a number of ways to solve this such as: - updated drivers,
- memtest (no errors found) - flashing bios, - changing around my PCI cards - clean
installs etc... After reading this page, I tried the following things that worked:
- I reduced the CPU freq setting from 200 MHz to 166 MHz. (PC was then stable as
a rock but performance was slower) - So then I reset my motherboard (jumpers and
battery out etc) - With default settings of motherboard and freq back to 200 MHz
it continued to crash. - So then I played around with the stick combinations... and
came to the following conclusion: Either of my 512 sticks would work fine alone in
any of the slots at default MoBo settings (400 MHz FSB), but as soon as there are
2 in there, my system becomes unstable. Does anyone have any ideas on this one? I
am assuming its a slightly faulty MoBo... so I will call the supplier today... but
it still seems very strange to me.
