It may be that I am using this XP Athlon on an older MSI board (KT7 Pro2) and need to go for a newer board. It works at 100 FSB just fine -but I always have to reboot it twice at the start.
I press the on button - all starts normally. Just as it is getting past the bios, I hold back in the button to stop - wait a few seconds - and then restart.
If I do not use this sequence, it will lock just before it loads Windows. I then will hold button in till it dies, restart - and then choose normal at the safe mode option screen. Almost the same.
Any way to stop the lockup. I am concerned that all this will wear out parts prematurely.
Thanks.
