question about PC 133 RAM

[twinkmiester]

I got a Celeron 566 on an ABIT SE6. I got 128MB of PC 133 Ram, and even with the CPU clocked at 566 I still get lots of BSOD. Is this because the RAM is too fast, or is it just a bad CPU? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Try a fresh install of your OS w/ the LATEST drivers before looking into a hardware problem.

Also Becareful of CAS Timings as well...
some PC133 are only designed for CAS3 operation, and won't work or will BSOD you all day long if you set them to CAS2...

Well, I jsut built the computer and originaly tried to install Win2K, but got to 95% and would get a page fault every time. Installed Win98SE with no problem, but still get BSOD very easily.
