I have the same motherboard. Initially I had 1Gb RAM, but when I upgraded to |
| 14 |
2Gb I experienced the same type of problems... not so many lock-ups, but |
| 15 |
compilation of anything seemd to stop at random times with random fatal |
| 16 |
errors. Memtest was fine... everything "seemed" fine. |
| 17 |

To fix the problem, I replaced the 2Gb "no-name" RAM with 4Gb GEIL RAM, and |
| 19 |
lo-and-behold, not a single problem since... The other RAM has been relegated |
| 20 |
to a 32bit box, and there is no problems. |

So, maybe it is just the quality of the components that is the issue. |
