there are 3 versions of that card, G1, g2 and G3, hardware generation. (G models ,not GV)
Guess G3 version:
xp 32 bit or 64b it is max OS for eternity, the virus magnet.
I read G3 manual for you.. easy. RTM
did you read, ddr caution 1 to 5 first. on DDR? and CPU, both.
both matters.
my guess is you failed to read PAGE, fully or not at all.
read it.
not told using, AGP video card, listed on QVL?
not told is AGP cocking tied or untied in bios page. same
if you overclock the memory the AGP card fails, if
tied.
so rule #1 do not do that.
are you mucking with overclock settings, why not just set clock to DDR spec speed max and CPU speed max which ever is less.
Supports DDR400/333/266, 2 sticks max.
Quote caution 1
"FSB1066-CPU is supported only when you install AGP VGA card into AGP
slot. Besides, if you use a FSB1066-CPU on this motherboard, please
adopt a DDR400 CL2.5 memory module." 2GB max"
BIOS page, turn on memory timing by SPD (plug and play chip on sticks)
The bios will not know what CPU max is and then read he SPD chip and if equal it runs at that speed, or IF ether is lower spec. the speed is at the lower, do not overclock chips as that causes overheating and hard failures. but is you cash lost not mine and down time.
and even BSODs endless. (kids being kids)
the manuals on old mobo are clear on this and how.
no ram models told (sku models) nor how many or size ddr and if a matched pair is it MUST BE, (intel told you to !)
no CpU told, full model # of CPU not told. is this CPU 1066? rated ,
NOT TOLD.
so any easy answers wow hard.
learn to post using notepad
MYbuild.txt FILE.
make a file and type all details of the this custom build.
then post that first so we can end guessing all that.
and get exact answers.
if GPU used, tell maker and model about 1/2 of all made fail. so...
cpu exact model not old (
the lid of CPU all words there MATTER)
ddr size pair models.# (labels have P/n#)
set all ddr to auto. and do not overclock
use
tied mode. (this scales fsb to gpu speed so can not fail)
Untied is overclocking mode, avoid that. (is dual clock settings)
learn to do this the safe way then later overclock (why) and break it later and then at that moment you know you did that, say next week?
and damage does happen.. doing that, costly too,.,
enable the SPD, this line means
SPD ( is the sticks Plug and Play WHO AM I CHIP) it in facts contains the full spec of the DDR inside SPD)
this act (SPD enabled)
sets the CPU to the speed max the paired DDR, to max allowed allowed (which ever is the lesser wins)
nothing works better and for longer. even a hot PC,
