Thanks for the suggestions.

Memory is set to 100% sync and I have locked the AGP to 66MHz. Still the
same problem.

I will check the 'halt on' setting and report back.

Thanks for the quick replies,

May sound silly but i have experienced something similar where my xp 1800+
would not post if i had an fsb of 180 so what i did was change the setting
'Halt on' to No Errors in standard cmos and it seem to cure it

try it let me know.
