I have a PC Chips mother board M811 V3.1 with a VIA KT266A Northbridg
and VT8235 Southbridge chipset. My processor is an AMD Athlon X
2400+. I have two US Modular 1G 1024MB DDR-400Mhz PC 3200 memor
cards. Seagate 400G 7200 Ultra ATA/100 hard drive. PNY TNT 2M6432 PC
video card. Windows XP SP2 home with all the latest update. I starte
having trouble with the PC rebooting it's self or crashing before
upgraded the memory and hard drive. I have had the problem with th
BIOS check sum error and other issues before I changed the memory.
have stand offs behind the main board and the case. The whole PC i
custom built, not a box style system. I have gone back before an
just put in the origional mem, HD, video card and key board and stil
have the problems. Sometimes it would come back with a BIOS check su
error and errors like page fault in none paged area. I installed th
new memory and it work fine for a week and it stopped working right
so I switched the memory back to 256MB DDR-333 Mhz PC2700 and i
still had troubles. I left it unplugged set the BIOS jumper to clea
CMOS, replaced the battery and left it alone. I then tried it again
week later with a different HD and fresh copy of windows XP. It boote
fine worked fined boot after boot, so I reinstalled the old drive an
it worked fine as well. I then put my new Seagate HD into it an
everything was fine for a while that day. When I unhooked the Seagat
to install the old drive as the main boot drive to allow me to chang
the setting allowing me access for backing up that old drive, when
tried to reboot it, it wouldn't boot. I would get no video, or i
would start to boot and freeze while finding IDE devises. I unhooke
that drive, hooked up the Seagate and now it wont boot right either
I reset the jumper to clear CMOS after it said BIOS check Sum erro
and it booted to the BIOS screen, once I hit save and it rebooted, i
would again freeze or show that there was no video. I have eve
swapped out the PCI Video card with a different one but that wouldn'
help either. Am I having a BIOS problem, a mother board problem o
processor problem or something else
