    is this a hardware issue?

    The motherboard is new, so although possible it is less likely that something is wrong on the motherboard. the CPU and the memory modules are old. The 512 module is giving far less errors, so far it is 293 errors. But I get the same error that I mentioned in my first comment with this module...

    Strange problem with my computer

    Re-seating RAM did not help. I dont have the manual handy now, the motherboard is gigabyte 7vKMP, not sure where the BIOS is jumper is. I want to know if this surely is a problem only with the motherboard and its BIOS, or it could be any other problem too?

    Motherboard for AMD XP1800 with Firewire

    I have not purchased a motherboard myself earlier, so I am not sure how to go about looking for one. I am looking for a motherboard which can host my AMD XP1800 processor, and will have a firewire port to it. Any idea what motherboards are available and where? Thanks! --f
