The night before last my system started locking up.
ABIT BX-133, P3-800@1064MHz, 256MB Mushkin PC150 HSDRAM.
Twice now it has given a single continuous Beep until reset.
I have moved the DIMMs around and the only thing that works is to put 1 DIMM in the middle of the three DIMM slots which I haven't used. Doesn't seem to be bad memory because I tried some other 128MB DIMMs and they would only work in the middle of the three DIMM slots.
Also I have dropped the FSB to 110 from 133 and the core voltage from 1.85v to 1.70v to get the system to run without locking up. It does not appear to be heat since my peltier is working just fine. At 110MHz FSB and 1.7v the processor temp is down to 5-6 degC.
I still need to re-seat the rest of my cards and processor but it kind of looks like my mobo may be dying a slow death here.
Any other ideas out there.
