p4 3.06 ghz and blue screen of death

[sumyungguy]

Hello everyone. When I use the pentium 3.06 ghz chip, my computer frequently shows the blue screen of death.
My computer will run perfect with a pentium 2.6 chip, but as soon as I put in the 3 gig, I get the blue screens (with
various errors).
The power supply is not the problem, for it is designed for a 3 gig processor. I am wondering if it is the processor
fan. The fan is a thermaltake (designed for pentium 2.4 I think). Does anybody know what the problem is?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

step 1) clear cmos and update to latest bios

(underclock the cpu if you have to)

Do a clean install of windows

Update latest bios, like thugsrook said. . and do any form of updating to the mobo there is possible; that exact same problem happened to me until I updated bios and mobo.

Good Point!

Assuming you can disable the Hyper-Threading in your MoBo bios, try that first. My 3.06 runs flawlessly until I enable HyperThreading, and then it crashes faster than I can reboot it. Methinks that either I don't know what the hell I'm doing, or the Hyperthreading implementation is a bit buggy right now.
