Subject: ASUS A7V/Thunderbird 1GHz lockup problems observation w/fix for me
Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2001 12:19:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010701121905.B9838@inxservices.com> (raw)
Ever since building this system there have been spontaneous and
unpredictable lockups, usually at least once per day. Sometimes several per
day. The lockup is sometimes preceded by X starting to display things
strangely (on a Voodoo 3 w/XF 4.X). Then I have a few minutes to reboot
before it hangs (can't log in using ssh from another system.)
With the Northbridge discussion, I couldn't pinpoint anything to fix it,
so I started experimenting.
Things got better by upgrading the BIOS; but still many hangs.
I've discovered that changing the CPU voltage from the default to 1.75V
results in a stable system. Higher than that doesn't work. Lower still gets
lockups.
It doesn't look like everyone has this problem with similar setups. But
if there are others, I wanted to share this discovery.
