Jason,
When installing your OS, try with a Bare Bones System:
- Mobo
- CPU
- RAM
- HD
- Floppy
- Optical Drive
- Keyboard
- Mouse
- Monitor
We can add any hardware later. Tell me about your AthlonXP 2100+. What heatsink and Thermal Grease did you use when you mounted it.
Also make sure your heatsink is on properly.
Take Care,
Richard
