Asus A7N8X-X and AMD Athlon XP 3200+

Sounds like you're home!

BTW, who sold you the video card?

Well so far, as of my last post, I have been running for almost a week
solid (half of that was in a game stress testing my system) and I have
not had any strange or unexpected reboot. I believe the problem was
my video card. After I took my newest video card out and put my old
FX5200 back in, it seems to be working fine. I got an RMA and sent
the new one back for return but I am fairly confident that should take
care of it. Thanks for all the help guys and if something else
happens or that isn't the fix, I'll post another follow-up.

Ok I'm not sure if its fixed yet or not, but I did exactly what you
said below and relaxed the memory settings and now for the first time
I am logged into Windows running at 3200+.

Prior to this, each and every attempt to go up to 3200+ has resulted
in a reboot before I would even get to the logon screen and then a few
power ups later it would reset the BIOS to defaults and then work OK
(just underclocked).

I'll keep you all posted still.

I guess the short answer is no. I am not quite sure how to "relax"
the settings. I do not have memtest86 so I have not stress tested the
RAM (but its brand new RAM because I thought that was the problem at
first so I'd hope that isn't it, although I know I shouldn't rule it
completely out). If you could direct me to the correct place I'll
give it a go. So far, every time I set it to 200mhz FSB I can't even
get into Windows without it powering off and then powering back up
immediately forces it to shut off and then the third power on it will
stay on, but its underclocked itself back to 100 which is the only
thing it seems to work good with.



After you've downloaded Memtest86 and installed it to a floppy, go into
the BIOS, to the same page where you set the FSB. Below there is a
setting for Memory Freq set it to 100%, then set Memory Timing to User
Defined. From there you should be able to set the next 4 settings to
7-3-3-2.5 respectively. You should have the FSB set to 200. Further
down the page is a setting for AGP Frequency, set it to 66mhz as auto
doesn't always work! Then run Memtest to check for stability. HTH!
