okay heres the deal, i have been working on this system for a week now and i think i have it almost finished but...
when i try to load win2k sp2 or office 2000, i get a system lock (stop error) or a sudden reboot. then i need to run repair on the o/s by booting to the win2k disk and running repair, other wise i cant get the NIC to work again, not even after unistalling the card and reinstalling the card and drivers. i am positive this is hardware based. here are system specs:
1.4 GHz Athlon (266fsb) w/ volcano 5 and a/s 2
ECS K7VZA mobo
1 GB kingston pc 133
1 80 GB W.D. hdd @ 7200
1 60 GB Maxtor hdd @ 7200
24x Que CD-RW
GeForce 2 Pro w/64 MB
Linksys "Network Everywhere" NIC
Antec SX-830 case (300w)
Any ideas please ???? i have replaced the mobo already, why would it do this when loading big software programs ? bad ram ? processor ? i'm not o/c'ing, heat is about 42 C.
