|

Hello,
I have an (in)stability PC Win2K Prof. problem that I have narrowed down
to either the MOBO or the CPU.
System hangs on reboots or boot, usually after POST & listing of
OS/Recovery Console choice.
MOBO A MSI-7125 ATX Board
CPU AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual core processor 3800+em
Seems impossible to test mother board, ran various Stress Test on CPU
such as CPU Burn-in, StressCPU and Mersenne Prime Test but these seem to
be designed to determine breaking point as a measure of breaking point
limits under overclocking, am I wrong? The system eventually comes down
and I do not know how to evaluate that event occurrence point - or is
there some test (memtest type w/ defined results or reference standards)
that I can use to eliminate the CPU as a potential problem source?
Thanks
