    Ok i upgraded my chip and mobo. AMD ATHLON 1.4 on a ASUS A7M266. The problem im having is that it either freezes everynow and then and makes a long high pitched beeeep or it will deffinately freeze when i access data from my CD ROM drives for more than a few minutes.. thats my current anoying problems... that help? Oh and it has 256 DDR ram and both my cd roms are on the same ide line and the jumpers are set to master and slave incase you ask.

    The fan i have on it is a Clobal Win Fan Specially designed for AMD CPUs. It has a 60x58x40mm high density heatsink atttached to it. I thought overheating might do it but im not sure cause when it hang i touch the heatsink and its not even that warm? Its all placed correctly aswell.

    I had a customer call a while back with a computer that would play a damned tune through the speaker.

    Finally figured out it was a built in over temp warning on an older Asus motherboard. Eventually noticed the CPU fan was gradually slowing down. It didn't make any unusual noises, groaning, etc, just gradually slowed down, the CPU warmed up, and it was music time !!
