Please help me diagnose a hardware problem I am having.
I have an AOpen P6 motherboard that was recently flashed to the latest BIOS. I recently upgraded my RAM from PC100 to PC133. My system was previously operating at 112FSB @ 616MHZ (112x5.5). My CPU is a P3 733E (133fsb). I bought the new PC133 ram so that I could run my system at 133 X 5.5 mhz.
Problem is, with my new ram (I removed the pc100 ram of course) Half-Life crashes roughly after 10 minutes or so, and if I try to start it back up it will crash within 2-5 minutes. It doesnt completely shut down, but gives me a dialog box which lets me see the details. It will sometimes say error in dw.dll (or other dll's at times) or say stack dump.
It doesnt crash when I run my system at a lower mhz such as 112x5.5 or 100x5.5.
I'm not sure of the brand name of my RAM.
Thank you for your help.
