I have a kt4 ultra with 2 modules 256 ram pc2700 (333Mhz) (512Mb total), Athlon XP 2200+, maxtor 7200rpm 80gb harddrive 2 partitions (W98 & WXP), palit daytona geforce4 mx440 agp 8x 64mb ddr ram, bios rev 1.4, 500W psu with inside cooler.
(My +5 voltage is currenyly 4,7 from pcalert)
(My Vcore is 1,65 pcalert)
(Cpu 50 C system 49 C) Original Athlon cooler
(Fsb 133)
All with the latest drivers.
DX 8,1.
And I have two problems

The computer shuts down unexpectedly and does not start again until some time or a little of insist over the reset and power buttons. For example I´m in WXP and I click Start menu and instantly It shuts down. Also when clicking control panel from the start menu it happens the same. Sometimes it shuts down even before entering windows. I Changed the ram from the two modules just to work with one module, aned it works ok sometimes, but others it is the same problem. I put on the other module in the same slot and it hanged again, so I changed to the supposed good module and shutted down again!!. A thing to have in mind is that the ram is spectek brand, i understand these are not good but cheap memory. someone offered me some ram of the simple technology brand, life guaranteed, but these were a lot expensive. maybe this is bugging?

Other is thast the meinboard does not recognize the video card as 8x, just to 4x.

If someone knows about this, the help would be very appreciated.

Don't even get me started with cheap memory.... it can cause an insane variety of problems, stick with major brand stuff.
