Hi all,
I really need some espert advice...
I have just built my own system (not HCPC, just a general PC). It was all going so well at first! But now I haver serious instablility problems - My system keeps crashing whilst plying games (Jedi Knight II runs perfectly, but Zoo Tycoon and Max Payne crash almost immediately).
My system (relevant specs):
Antec Performance II Soho File Server ATX case with 350W PSU
Soltek SL-75DRV5 Mainboard (AMD Recommended)
AMD Athlon XP 1700+
256MB RAM PC2100
IBM 120GXP 7200rpm 60GB HDD
Leadtek GeForce 4 Ti4200 128mb A250 LE TD MyVIVO
Soundblaster Live! Player 1024
I started out with the drivers that came with the graphics card, but they were unstable. Now I have just installed the latest Detonator 40.71 but they are no better...
I don't think it is an overheating problem - My Heatsink came with the processor in a pack and the atx case has three other fans, and even the gfx card has a heatsink fan.
In the BIOS the temperature section has lots of different readouts:
Temperature ABSII 53c
Temperature 1 40c
Temperature 2 55c
I don't know whether that is relevant or good or bad?
Any suggestions would be really appreciated... Do I keep on trying different Detonator drivers to see if I can find one that works well?
Thanx!
Lex.
