Title: Random lockups, sometimes during bios
Post by: pr on November 15, 2003, 10:30:22 PM

Random lockups:

I mean random within the first 5 minutes.
ANYTIME, including during bios bootup my computer just hangs.
No control-alt-delete, or anything (probably hasn't even loaded yet).

Disconnected hard drive, cd-roms, and even the floppy but computer can still hang during bios. (they are now reconnected)

MS8157E Motherboard,
AMD Athelon XP 2000+ processor
512 mb memory... forgot off the top of my head

But when it locks up during  my boot floppy, the blinking curser thing still blinks,

(ignore the message that says student, somehow i thought it said job title at the top, yes i am an idiot)

Oh, and i am new at ths...
The system tempurature is stable at around 80 F
But the cpu is closer to 115 F or sometimes 120 F

Is that normal?

Those temps are fine and won't cause lock-ups. My temps are lower though at 75F case temp and 110F max for cpu but I have a ThermalRight SLK 700 w/TMD fan.
