!HELP! Newbie computer building Q.
Hi all,
I am taking my first stab at building a computer. I bought a FIC AD11 board supporting 266 FSB and DDR Ram, an Athlon 1.4 Gig, and 256 Megs of Kingston DDR 2100 Ram. The HDD is Seagate 40 Gig and DVD is Toshiba.
I put it together all right, but the system is very unstable. I keep on getting memory faults in which the system crashes (in Windows ME) or gives me a nice blue screen (in Win2K or XP trial edition).
I strongly suspect the memory, but can anyone help me here? Any ideas of what might be going wrong? I know its a vague and possibly dumb Q. but I have taken it apart and put it together, swapped IDE cables, in short done everything I could.
Thanks,
-Rahul.
