Win2K Freezes -- making a log in win2k

[magnatique]

any of you wiz can help me out here?
I got a new 1.2 ghz thunderbird, with a new mother board, and some new ram...


it ran smootrhly (after a ton of tweaking, thanks to mACROSHIT's auto detection of hardware,)

but now, I noticed it crashes.... sort of freezes... that is not normal LOL

but I do not know if it's something I installed recently, or if it's the hardware (since it's not 1 month old)

so do you guys know of any way I could test to see if it's the hardware, or if it's the software.. and if the latter, to know which one causes that... I was thinking maybe there's some log programs that can run and I would know where to look for... if so, where are such things?

btw, I haven't spotted what exactly makes it bug...

first time, I hit enter to change url in IE... the other time, I was listening to music in winamp and I was typing a msg on this board.. and the last time I was watching a movie, not even on the computer..

thanks guys

need more info? let me know!

Did you reinstall win2k after your upgrade?

How hot is the thunderbird? (you can probably check that in the bios)

If the hardware is not defective, which it probably isn't, the only thing that can hang win2k is hardware drivers. Most likely you have something non-standard. Also, could be something as simple as bios memory latency settings, etc...

tbird is cool and fast, but I'm under impression they (manufacturers) still have a way to go to improve their motherboards.
I recently upgraded athlon 1 gig slot a for tbird 1.3 gig slot a with ddr ram and stuff, everything went smoothly up until I tried to stick big agp video card. (win2k system)
It didn't like something and probably burned mb. Hell knows why. Now need to replace the MB again.
Plus this issue with cooling cpu fans going down all the time

to clarify I was talking about amd platform versa pentium
