Guys, I think I have a problem with my IDE channel(s). On and off, the computer locks up when I access my cd-rom (creative 48x). Could be when I start a game or run an installation. The HD led goes on (constant light) and a restart is needed. This happens in both win2k and win98SE. I have tried with different cd roms (and a dvd drive), same ****. Anyone know anything about such a problem? Some more info: IDE channel 1 has two HD's in UDMA33 mode (IBM hd's) IDE channel 2 has single cd rom in pio mode (PIO4 I guess), set as master. ABIT BH6 motherboard. Any suggestions appreciated! /Klang

Hi guys! Well, seems nobody has the same problems with win2k as I have. Every now and then the system totally dies on me (immediate restart or lock-up, approx. 2-3 times a day). Could happen when I'm in Win2k Help, downloading mails, pressing start button directly after boot-up, etc, etc. Can't find anything usefull in the event viewer, and the minidump are hieroglyphs. I'm about to give up. System specs: PII-450 Live! Value (default driver) Asus V6600 (3.76 driver) Creative CD4834E (48X, default driver) US Robotics V90 Flash ext. modem (default driver) Very little software installed. That's about it. Help would be VERY appreciated! /Klang
