Soundstorm won't open! nForce2 k7n2 Delta-ILSR

Yo guys.
For some reason my Soundstorm control panel wont open.  Every time i try and open it encounters a problem and needs to close before the window even shows up. In the past I've also had problems where my onboard LAN and sound devices disable themselves.  It's a confusing problem, basically even if i try and reset things, like ipconfig /release /renew, it says that i can't renew it because the file needed for it isn't anywhere to be found.
If you need any more information, just ask and i'll give it to you.
-d1git

I'm having a similar problem.   I lost my 5.1 sound and it can't be solved by completely uninstalling drivers because that can't even be done.
Specs are as follows:
MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR
AthlonXP 2500+
1gig RAM
ATI Radeon 9100 128mb
WD 120GB HD
WinXP SP1 + updates
When I first built this thing a year ago, the sound, nForce sound control panel worked fine on SP1.  About a month ago, I had some issues with the onboard LAN which led to a reinstall (under the "upgrade" option).  The "LAN problem" turned out to be a NIC/hub hardware compatibility issue, so it's irrelevant here.  After it got done installing, I lost all sound.  When I double-clicked on the nForce sound control panel, an error of SndStorm.exe came up.  I tried to install over the drivers with the new unified drivers, but the nVidia setup program starts up, gets to 100%, then does nothing.  I uninstalled the Dolby MCP and audio controller through the device manager, but before the computer restarts after an "uninstall," a box popped up saying something about "uninstall failed" but Windows shuts down too fast for me to read the rest of the error message.  Did this several times.
On subsquent sound driver uninstall/reinstalls, it's been hit or miss.  Windows would detect the devices and use the drivers it finds (or if I direct Windows to the driver files I downloaded).  Sometimes I get sound from the front 2 speakers and the sub, sometimes I get no sound.  
So I tried to reinstall ("upgrade") WinXP+SP1 again, then I went to add/remove software and got rid of all nVidia drivers, restarted.  I can't remove "nVidia nForce Utilities" at all.  Under the add/remove program entry, it doesn't say how many MB's the utilities take up, nothing about how frequently it was used.  When I hit add/remove, the error is simply "installation failed."  Clearly the uninstalls aren't clean, and I'm willing to go manually remove things from the registry if I have to, but I don't even know where to start.
Any suggestions on how to fix this other than a clean wipe?  Thanks.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Nforce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-003-MS) Features NF2 chip

    I tried to install 3 of the Crucial Ballistix Tracer (1 Gig Each) in this motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Nforce2 (Socket A) Motherboard (MB-003-MS) Features NF2 chipset) and it will not run stabilly no matter what I tried. Is this a bios conflict with the memory? If so, are there any new bios updates? I have tried cas settings and voltage settings but nothing works. It will how ever run perfectly with only 2 sticks in single channel mode. It will not run same 2 sticks in dual channel mode. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone know of any new motherboards with maybe NFORCE 4 Chipset that support all 3 sticks of this memory and an AGP graphics card? Im thinking of a new motherboard but I still need to have AGP and SATA.
    Barton 3200 core proc.
    System has ran fine for a solid year until I tried new memory. Please help!

    Ok I tried to use relaxed FSB by -10 and relaxed mem timings but still unstable due to the motherboard trying to use dual channel memory. If you can modify the bios to where it will not have the capability of dual channel memory I truly believe it will work. Will u try this for me? I would greatly appreciate it as I am really not ready to spend all the money on new equipemtn when this suits my needs for now.
    sure but as i said before this is gona be experimental and risky. Here we go:
    MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Experimental MOD E1(Disable Dual CH ability)
    Procedure is automated in best possible safest way to BIOS update.
    Prepare a blank diskette in a good condition(newest one etc.)
    ]execute file under XP will make bootdisk with automated BIOS update procedure. when diskette is ready, reboot PC and boot from FDD(floppy), wait a bit, then you will be asked for final confirmation about BIOS update process, press a key to proceed, after BIOS update is complete, ensure that you got successfully output message from flash program. then power down your PC, remove power cord from the PSU, hit power button several time to drain caps electrify, touch with hands some metal for ES discharge, and Clear CMOS.
    pull back power cord, power up your PC, when you see CMOS checksum error,(expected msg) hit F1 to continue to re-build DMI pool data, then reboot and enter in BIOS, LOAD BIOS DEFAULT, and SAFE AND EXIT.
    NOTE: Ensure your PC is stable before proceed with BIOS update.
    NOTE: Use it at own risk, chance of failure is big, cannot guarantee results and safest as provisional mode which can guarantee it will work stable with features. also cannot test it personally before give you. (don't have mobo anymore)
    Using it may end with dead mainboard (BIOS chip re-flash will be required, if somethink goes wrong)

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

    K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts.  Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

    PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
    By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
    Now what?

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR won't boot from FDD or HD

    I have a serious problem with my new K7N2 delta ILSR based computer.
    My machine is
    K7N2 delta ILSR 400W
    3.3/25 5/32 12/15 V/A PSU
    512+256 MB A-data 3200 ram
    Athlon XP2500+
    BTC 48x24x48 Combo
    100 mb Zip int. -disabled
    120 GB Seagate barracuda SATA-disabled
    120 GB Seagate Barracuda parallel
    Triplex parasouls ATI 9600PRO 128MB
    The machine POST's normally with all 4 lights doing what they should.
    The Promise BIOS can detect the SATA drive correctly but when an attempt is made to write the array an error- 'error modifying array- system is going to reboot- press any key to reboot>" is given.
    The M/B BIOS detects the FDD and Seagate Parallel drives correctly but when a correctly formatted XP boot disc (or Mandrake Linux or Caldera DR-DOS) is placed in the floppy drive a "no system disk" error is given.
    When you F6 to install RAID drivers in the Windows XP install and the screen comes up where you are prompted to insert the floppy there is no mass storage device detected.
    I purchased a new FDD and it gives precisely the same error as the original.
    I installed the parallel Seagate in another system and installed and activated windows XP on it. After re-installing it in the K7N2 system I was disappointed to discover that it will not boot off the hard drive. When you boot from the XP CD the machine locks up. (Disconnecting the HD it will boot normally)
    This is a real puzzle as it is possible to format the hard drive using Max Blast3- the maxtor disk utility which is based ( as is the Seagate Seatools utility) on Caldera DR-DOS). And I can't see why it should boot from a CD-ROM and not from any other correctly formatted boot disk.
    I suspect a problem in either the (South?) bridge that controls the peripherals or the BIOS. I am at a loss how to re-flash the BIOS with out the use of the floppy drive- unless this can be done from a CD-ROM.
    The PSU is not being strained and nForce list both RAM sticks as OK.

    The Fd light behaves normally. i.e. lights up when the drive is being accessed.
    has anybody else noted that the FDD is B by default- That the cables have a few wires twisted like the wires between the first and second plugs on the old cables?
    The IDE 80 wire(counted!) is long end in the board- my plugs are all 3 black. You can't put them in the wrong way becaue of the centre key.
    All the stands are plastic except for two brass ones that are in the centre of the board that go to circular mount pads. That is how the case came and I thought it was a design feature.
    The thing I find most puzzleing is that i can boot a caldera based system that finds everything including the floppy- and read it- (provided you call it drive B!) yet naything DOS based won't go- I have this feeling that it has a screwed up DOS call that is not looking in the right disk sector for NTldr or whatever to boot. I think this is a bios problem- but I am not sure how to find out when you can't boot from the FDD.
    My brother has talked to some tech friends and there word is that this is a weird one- probably a dud board RTS.

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR (mouse stuttering)

    :wall:windows/load/mousepointer/trouble:bonk:
    if windows is running under load,even if load means that i just
    use windows media player or any other application, the
    pointer is starting to stutter alot. if i stop media player, the
    mouse runs fine again.
    meanwhile i read many threads that doesn't helped me.
    meanwhile i read several nforce2 problem guides.
    meanwhile i checked out all thinkable ways of changing values
    on mobo and in windows itself. i had no success.
    tried changing drivers, programs, operating systems and
    some parts of hardware.
    all you can imagine, i guess. i'm not a noob.
    i'm out of ideas .... anybody got a hint to help me?

  • Fatal Exception on boot with K7N2 Delta-ILSR

    Ok, my roommate just got a new K7N2 Delta-ILSR.  We got it hooked up and as soon as it got to the windows boot screen, a fatal exception error popped up.  We reinstalled the OS (Windows XP Pro), and it goes through the drive format and copies the files just fine.  But when it reboots it pops up the fatal exception error again.  We've tried restarting it, and it will go through the rest of the installation, then give the error on the next boot.  After this it won't go past the OS boot.  I've checked all the cables and jumpers, everything looks good there.  We've checked the powersupply, and it is a little lower than what I've seen people suggest here, however it's higher than mine, and I'm running a K7N2 Delta-L.
    As for memory, he is using Corsair Dual Channel PC 2700.  We're going to swap the power supply and the RAM to see if that makes a difference, but I wanted to know if there was anything else that might cause this problem.

    Ok, we've found a temporary solution to the problem, but it's not one that sits well with my roommate.  We've underclocked the ram down to 266mhz instead of 333mhz and we have it running in single channel mode instead of dual channel.  The system runs ok, and it's only locked once while playing Planetside, but that was about 5 hours into the game and I think it was because of a bug in the game.  If that's the permanent solution, then he'll probably be returning either the ram or the motherboard, depending on which one is having the problem.
    And as much as I love MSI products, I do have to say that I am very disapointed with their technical support.  I mean, honestly, it's pretty lame when you can't call on a friday to get support.  I can understand not being open on saturday and sunday, but to have nobody in the office on a friday is just insulting.
    Anyways, still looking for a solution to get the ram and the motherboard to work together at the normal clock speeds.

  • MSI K8T Neo2 F vs. MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

    Hi there !
    I have an amd Athlon XP 3200+ overheating problem, and contacted the technical support of the shop where the processor and CPU was coming from.
    Since they do not have any XP 3200+ to replace mine, they propose me to replace fro free :
    - the XP 3200+ by an AMD Athlon 64 3200+
    - my actual MSI K7N2 delta ILSR by an MSI K8T Neo2 F
    ... and this for free.
    Since I do not know this new motherboard that has been proposed, I'd like to have advice on if this is a good deal ?!?
    My actual system has :
    - an Aluminium case with 2x 12cm FAN's
    - 2 IDE hard drives
    - 1 SATA hard drive
    - TWINX Corsair XMS 2x256MB PC 3200L (Extreme low latency)
    - an AGP 8x video card
    - An Antec True Power 480W.
    will the new motherboard fit with this configuration?
    Many thanks for your input !

    Not really, unless you really want to oc your cpu. The K8T boards aren't that good in OC-ing. But still, some is possible and you'll be sure that the board is as steady as a rock.
    For a moment I thought you were talking about a Neo board ... but I just saw it's a Neo2. That means Socket 939 -> dual channel RAM.
    The only risk you have now, is that your RAM won't work in dual channel with the CPU. But that's not really a board-problem, more a CPU/RAM-controller related problem. But then, it's still a great offer and chances are good that it will work. If you run into any trouble, RAM-related, just flash bios to version 1.9 and you will probably be just fine.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Dead? Help!

    Hey all,
    Well, the other day I was on my computer playing a game when my mobo fan started making an odd noise (as if switching rpm), so I took off the side of my case and took a look inside. Everything seemed to be functioning properly, then I switched my cpu fan speed via the pci slot speed control. As I switched from High-Medium-Low, I noticed that the fan actually slowed to the point where I could see the blades spinning, at least for a second or so. I found that rather odd, seeing as how I've never seen a fan (especially a cpu fan) slow to the point that I could see the blades spin. Anyway, a couple of hours later, I shut down and went to sleep.
    The next day I had my comp on for about maybe 30mins to an hour or so when suddenly I heard an alarm from the computer speaker, so I was like, ":censored:?" since I had never heard it before. It was evidently the temperature warning, which I had set to 70C. So I shut down within 15 seconds and opened up the side of my case.
    I noticed that the cpu fan wasn't moving at all (usually I'd open the case in time to see the spin-down). So I turned the computer back on and the fan didn't budge, so I immediately powered down, assuming that the CPU Fan had died. Later on, I hooked the fan itself up to a free power cord in my sister's computer and booted up, along with the speed controller, flipping from medium to high to low without any problems.
    I then did screwed the fan back to the heatsink in my comp and booted up. I went into the bios an noticed that the rpm was 8k, which is way too high for my fan (normally 5k). So i began switching from high, medium, to low once again, then I saw that the rpm reader in the bios went to 0. So I looked back in the side of my case and saw that the cpu fan was once again dead. At this point I concluded that it was the fan and was about to order the Volcano 12.
    A day later I placed the fan inside my sister's computer on a free cord, yet again, and yet again, it worked fine.
    I once again put it in my computer to test and this time it worked fine, even while switching between speeds. Unfortunately, I then noticed that the mobo fan was not moving, then began to move.
    Well, I'm guessing now that it's simply the motherboard that has a short, since both the motherboard fan as well as the cpu fan have randomly been dying the past few days. The motherboard fan; however, has switched rpm many times in the past from 5k to 3k.
    It could also be a PSU problem, but I have Antec 400watt psu and it's been working fine for the past 2 years, so I doubt it. I've had the motherboard for a little over a year. I upgraded my cpu from 2200+ to 3000+ in July. That's also when I bought the cpu fan. The motherboard fan began fluctuating in rpm noticeably back in April or May of this year.
    Yesterday, I used the computer again and had it on for about 2 hours or so and I had speedfan monitoring the temps and the rpm. The temps stayed relatively stable: 48 cpu, 44 mobo.
    But alas, the RPMs were totally [blame me for the swear filter] up. At one point, both the mobo and cpu fan speeds were reading 0, even though both continued to spin within the case and the temps remained the same. Then after 30mins or so, they cpu fan began reading again at 40,000-42,000rpm, which is obviously incorrect, seeing as the fan is rated for around 5k. I got/get the same readings in the bios, both fans reading at 0rpm as they continue to physically spin.
    Also, during a number of times that I've started up the comp within the past few days, the motherboard northbridge fan wasn't spinning at all and didn't begin to until a few minutes into my windows session.
    Also, I took out the NB fan and noticed a slight crack in the back of it.
    I was considering simply just buying the Volcano 12 and the MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum rather than RMAing the mobo. Then perhaps an Antec 550W psu, if necessary.
    Any ideas what I should replace and in which order? And has anybody else encountered any similar problems with this mobo (at least with the mobo rpm, which has been a prob for about 6months on and off)?
    I bought the mobo along with a 2200+ in July of 2003. I upgraded the ram from 256 to 512 in April 2004 (which is around the time I started hearing rpm probs with the mobo fan) and I upgraded the cpu in July of 2004
    Many Thanks!  
    My Specs are as follows:
    Windows XP Professional SP1
    Antec SX1040B2 File Server Case
    400watt Antec PSU
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (2.17GHz)
    Thermaltake TR2 M2 HSF
    Kingston 256MB of PC2700 DDR-333MHz RAM
    Generic 256MB of PC2700 DDR-333MHz RAM
    ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum
    Pioneer 10x DVD Drive
    Sony 8x Double Layer DVD-+RW
    Western Digital 120.0GB 7200RPM HD ATA/100

    Logitech MX500 Optical Mouse
    Logitech Elite Keyboard
    19" Envision Monitor EN985e
    Logitech Z-680 5.1 Speakers

    Could be a fluctuating PSU that's breaking down power to the MB. You have a whole lot of components dragging that PSU down. With what you have in your rig I would run either an Antec or Enermax 550W. Best way to be sure is to borrow a PSU or buy one from a store with a good return policy so that you can return it if indeed it turns out to be the MB. If I don't have your board here on my bench to test the only thing I can suggest to you is to swap out components unfortunately.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR (MS-6570) BSOD problems grrr

    I recently purchased this board and although it is an awesome product, I'm having a problem with BSOD's when I play a game for a certain period of time
    Specs:
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR  (7.6 BIOS)
    AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Barton
    512MB (2x256MB) Samsung PC-2700 DDR memory (2.5-3-3-6 1T)
    MSI 128MB GeForce4 Ti 4200 (4X AGP)
    NVIDIA nForce on-board sound
    Western Digital 80GB drive w/ 8MB cache
    MSI X48 CD/CD-RW/DVD combo drive
    Windows XP Professional SP1
    PSU:
    Turbolink 420watt (came with case)
    +3.3V is 28A
    +5V is 40A
    +12V is 18A
    So what happens is I get a STOP error during the game that shows the kmixer.sys driver as the culprit. Sometimes it's accompanied by PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA too. I read somewhere that kmixer.sys has to do with windows audio and that it's a 3rd party driver issue or a memory issue. I'm using the latest NVIDIA 3.13 nForce platform drivers. I ran Memtest lastnight for 12 hours straight and 0 errors. I'm thinking the memory may not be compatible with the board nor dual channel, is this possible? I have also tried several different drivers for both video and chipset including MSI's own and I still get the kmixer.sys BSOD when playing games. My previous motherboard was an MSI KT3 Ultra2-R (MS-6380E) which I had no issues with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    --Update--
    I just tried to play a game with audio disabled and it crashed this time with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with nv4_mini.sys as the problem. My IRQ table shows some sharing, but device manager shows no conflicts.

    Ok I tried running the DTM-CB3 module which is nForce2 approved at 3-4-4-11 2T timings and experienced the same result even at 2.6 and 2.7v. I tried both in dual-channel and same thing happened. However, I downloaded a program called Prime95 and ran the CPU torture test and the system returned a fatal error within the first few minutes. CPU Temp was at 57 C and the warning beep (set to 60C though) sounded intermittentley which is strange. I let it cool down then ran the torture test again and about 5min. later the system either seized completely or the program crashed. IE has also crashed randomly on me. I did this several times, before trying a different FSB/DRAM ratio. So I left the system at 200 FSB and used a 6:5 ratio so my memory was running at DDR333 and processor was a 3200+. I ran Prime95 again and the system locked up just as it did the other times.  So after I did this a few times with consistent results. I went back and set the FSB to 166 and tried a 5:6 ratio so the memory was DDR400 and processor was the normal 2800+. I ran it again and to my suprise it passed all the tests and after an hour of this, I tried a game and that was perfectly fine as well. I checked the temps and CPU was only 45 C this time. So I'm thinking the processor can't handle anything above 50C or it's just plain overheating. I ordered a Thermaltake Silent Boost HSF today which is tested up to 3400+ so this should fix my problem. If not, then I'm going to replace the memory with a 512MB Geil PC3200 golden dragon dual-channel kit.

  • [MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR] Trouble

    Hello,
    I have some serious trouble with my pc, my system specs are:
    -Unlocked Amd 2400+ (AXDA2400DKV3C from August 21, 2002)
    -Msi K7N2 delta-ilsr
    -Palit GeForce FX5900XT
    -Std. 512mb pc2700
    -Std. 512mb pc3200
    -More stuff
    The problem is that I can't change the multiplier. If I change the multiplier from 15x (standart) to for example 13x, the system won't boot. Than I have to put a jumper at the 100mhz fsb setting, then I must change the multiplier back to by h/w & save the settings. So I am only able to change the fsb, but not the multiplier
    Anywone who know's a solution for this problem?
    Thanks,
    Sape

I have tried for an long time to get the raid function to work but wihtout results with my old ATA 100 card (it works when i unplugg the ide cable from ide3).
    Is there anybody that knows with type off PCI ATA 133 card that works or how too coop whith this problem.
    I've got the latest bios ver. 7.8 but no difference

    And everything works great, Thank you very much for the tip. :-)
    No more blue screen and it even works with my memory Kingston Value Ram 2x512 ddr400.
    Is it possible to change the FSB from 166 to 200, and what should i think about before action. Like i said before i have an xp2800+
    Alltså är det möjligt att få cpu gå på samma frekvens som minnena om man ökar FSB har några tip så är jag tacksam.
    Att en nätdel kan göra så mycket helt otroligt TUSEN TACK för hjälpen till och med cpu tempen har sänkts från ca 56 till 46 grader fattar ingenting.

  • K7N2 Delta-ILSR can't get IEEE 1394 working

    My Mainboard K7N2 Delta-ILSR nForce2 Ultra 400 (601-6570-030)
    I can't ever remember seeing the onchip 1394 controller settings in Bios.
    I do remember seeing it in windows XP before I reflashed the bios to ver 7.6 using Live Update, I have read about problems with the mainboard not likeing the FX5900 Video cards, so I thought I would update the bios to save any problems.
    I then re-installed XP and thought nothing of it. Everything was running well intil I wanted to do some video capturing from my camcorder. I then realised that there where no 1394 drivers installed and no controller could be found. I read the manual and it said to set the 1394 controller in Bios to Auto. When I went to Bios there was no onchip 1394 controller shown in the intergrated peripherals or any where else in Bios.
    Can someone suggest what to do next please?

    Try the followin steps
     Hit the DEL key to go to the BIOS SCREEN
     goto  LOAD BIOS SETUP DEFAULTS  and press ENTER
     press F10 to save it to BIOS.
    NOW  again go to the BIOS  and go to the INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS check out whether there is ONCHIP 1394
    All the Best !

  • K7N2 Delta-ILSR BSOD

    Hi
    MSI Nforce K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    Bios V1016
    Antec True380SPGB True Power 380w
    AMD Athlon XP2800+
    2x512mb Crucial DDR
    1xSATA HDD
    Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4200
    I've installed 1 SATA onto the onboard Raid controller, but I keep getting BSOD when either playing a game or watching avi's.  The 0x00000000 message is disappearing too quickly to right down but is saying windows was shut down to prevent damage to the hardware.
    Will the K7N2 Delta-ILSR Promise controller work with just one SATA hdd connected, I know that the silicon image controller on my Asus A7N8X-E will support just one SATA connected but will the promise chipset.
    I've updated all the drivers but the dreaded BSOD keeps happening.
    If it won't it not's a major problem as I do have a PCI sata controller card I can install.
    Or are there any issues with the above graphics card and the MSI mobo?
    Thanks for any help.

    Yep I've created a array with the single SATA and got Windows installed.
    I've also changed the memory settings so they are now 1:1 with the FSB.
    I've also altered the advance settings so I'll be able to write down the full 0X00000000 string.
    Just set net access up via my PC and got this error report from M$
    Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR Takes forever to boot.

    Specs:
    K7N2 Delta ILSR Mobo
    Athlon xp 2500
    Kingston Hyper X 2700 DDR 512mb (its on the list)
    Geforce 2MX 32mb AGP videocard (I dont play games)
    3 Com 56k Win Modem
    IBM GXP120 60 gig ata133 Hard drive
    Pine 12X DVD drive
    LG 24x10x48 CD Burner
    Antec 300W power supply
    The problem is that it takes forever to install and boot windows with faster processors for some reason. I origianlly built this system with my old Athlon 1.33 and it had these problems.  I then tried a 900mhz athlon and it worked great, so I figured I damaged my 1.33 somehow.  I ordered a 2500+ and a zalmann cpu cooler and now am back to where I was, when the system starts it  seems very unstable and the screen goes blank for 10 minutes while its booting.  It shows about 3 seconds of the starting windows screen then the screen will go blank for a while anf there will be no hard drive activity then it will come back about 10 minutes later and then boot.  Sometimes the system will work fine then sometimes I cant even open my computer i just get the searching flashlight icon where my drives should be.  I have updated to the lastet BIOS.  Also while installing windows I get ocasional long pauses where it is doing nothing at all then it will just magically conitnue and do it in a fashion I would expect a machine of this speed to do.  

    Hmm not sure about the cable position on the CD drives, ill have to check that when I get home.  All the jumpers are set correcly, and the hard drive is all by itself and its on the right connector.  Thanks for the ideas, this problem is really killing me, I havent had these kind of hardware problems in years.  The thing I dont get is why it works good with the 900mhz and not with the 1.33 or 2500+
