Ok...start with the setup...
MCS K7S5A Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 2900
200 gig WD hard drive
10 gig seagate hd
Geforce 4 mx 4000
Just a Dvd Burner...cant remember specifics
2 sticks of 256mb pc 133 Sdram
Nothing special...
Now the Problem:
I used to have a different processor...
Today I went out to buy a new processor and some ram...I ended up getting another stick of 256 and the AMD Athlon Xp 2900...
I set it up,Put in the Xp installation disk..and booted,
The system starts up fine,it all works until about 10 seconds or so into it,sometimes more sometimes less,Then it just kind of freezes...the screen will just stay where it is at...and will not respond to any keystrokes.
I spent an hour or two trying to figure it out...then...I took out the new processor and put the old one back in...everything works fine...
What do I need to do to get the system to work with the new processor?
Thanks so much,
Tyler
