Ok so I've tried 3 diffrent system's and for the life of me I can't make any of them stable with 98SE or ME
System 1.
Pentium 3 800
SOYO 6BA+ IV (Intel 440BX)
512mb PC133
Geforce FX 5900XT
40gb Maxtor HD
System 2.
K6-3+ 450
Epox MVP3c2 (VIA MVP3)
384MB PC100
Voodoo Banshee
20gb Maxtor HD
System 3.
Athlon XP 1700+
ECS K7VTA3 V8.0 (VIA KT333)
512mb PC333 @ PC266
Radeon x800XT
80gb Western Digital
Parts used across all 3
Tested all with onboard IDE controllers
Tested all with Promise ATA133
Tested all with SiL3114 flashed to IDE Bios using a Western Digital 120gb SATA
Tested first two with SB Awe 64 Value
Tested all with SB Live
Tested all with SB Audigy Platnium
Tested All with 3com 10/100 Nic (tested SocketA with onboard nic as well)
Tested all with Trendnet Realtek based gigabit card
Tested all with Seasonic 650W PSU
Tested all with Antec True Power 350W
No matter what I can't make any of them stable, they all go haywire and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
They start off with random lockups, random reboots, BSOD's and general flakiness.
I ran memtest on all of my ram and i find no errors.
Anyone got any ideas its starting to get annoying
