Hallo everybody,

I've built a computer with Asrock K7Vt4-4X , Apacer 2100 CL2 256 MB Ram and
AMD Athlon XP 2600+.

But it crashs somewhere . sometimes during the os intsallation, sometimes
during the booting and sometimes it boots and after one hour it crash (even
when I do nothing ).

I made a memory test using the included programming with Suse 9.0 DVD. I
made a harddisk test . but everything seemed to be ok.

Someone suggested that the memory may be incompatible with the motherboard .
Is it right ?

please can anybody help me ?

thanks in advance

Set the cas timing to 3 and try different RAM setting e.g less
aggressive and try again and clean the Install CD.See if that helps?
On my ECS board setting the RAm to normal gives problems whereas
setting to fast doesn't."Go figure" as colonials say<grin> :)

Two things. One: your XP2600+ is probably 333FSB but your memory only
266MHz. Even if the mobo can accommodate that it does frequently cause
problems like yours.
Two: run Memtest86 for a few cycles with different memory settings to check
for memory errors.

I checked the CPU and the RAM it's exactly the case . Monday I will get
another RAM and test it.
