I'm putting together a box with a pentium d and an intel motherboard with the ati xpress 200 chipset. It will run for awhile and then all of a sudden it will just restart. I never even see a blue screen. I put in a 500 watt coolmax, sli certified, 24 pin mainboard connector, dual rail ( i think...

All of a sudden I'm getting stuttering gameplay and crashes. The crashes sometimes look like a jumbled television test pattern. I was wonderign if the fact my 1900xp is idling at about 58-60C could be the problem. Do you think this is hot enough to cause instability?

any input?

i was planning on a 512. if the crucials are bad what do you recommend then?

I need memory. What memory have you put in your T40?

anyone know of a good lock that will lock down a t40 to a desk?

okay, thanks!
