I have a question about Top
reasons for random, fatal crashes in Windows XP and Windows 2000:
Ok this is a question and sort of a reply as well to what I have been reading here
esp. Shehan and Trev. I cannot run XP (XPiece of Shit) on my machine for more than
30min sometimes more if I am extremely lucky without a total lock up freeze. But
thats not all... I have an AMD Athlon 1.0ghz with VIA kt133 and 256MB PNY PC133.
I built the computer from a barebones kit Andara Tech 250watt PS, the Mobo, from
the bios number since i dont have a good manual is made by GVC(I dare anyone to waste
there time trying to find info on that one), ESS chipset modem 56k, Suncheer 12*10*32*
CDRW, Logitec Scroll mouse(I thought for awhile it could be the mouse but still havenot
tested). Anyway also Segate 30GB at 5200 and a IBM Deckstar 80GB at 7200. Also Pine
GeForce2 MX200 64MB, on board audio coupled with a Korg 1212/io sound card for recording
purposes. OK now the OSes. Windows 98Se, Win2000 Pro, WinXP and RedHat Linux 7.2.
The multiboot system is set up properly all on own partition blah blah Ive set em
up b4. Now with that said let me get to the point. It is not the memory, powersupply
or cmos battery, the reason is Win98 functions flawlessly!!! never crashes ever(well
ok once in a great while) ALL my drivers are up to date! The only OS that doesnt
freeze is Win98 all others perform random freezing? You see the delema? How can one
os on the same machine run smooth and others fail. By the way I put in a fresh formatted
Segate drive and installed ONLY XP on it and it still froze this rules out the multiboot.
If someone can explain to me that the other three OSes drain more power than I will
go get a PS. If some one can explain to me that the OSes use Mem Modules differently
then OK ect.... But please offer me some scientific explanation as to why these things
occure I have been computing since 1983 starting with the beloved TRS80 and this
is the WORST problem i have ever had. I dont even like XP and once the problem is
solved i probably will remove it but i cant sleep you know!!! thanks all
