Ok, I'm just having one problem with Windows 2000, albeit a fairly large problem. For some strange reason Windows 2000 decides to reboot itself at random times, usually after a few hours of operation. 98SE didn't have this problem, although I know the OSes are totally different, if it had something to do with my overclocking, I would think 98 wouldn't be stable either, so I ruled that one out for now.

Well, it's been three days now, no BSODs... It may have been solved by any of these three things I did. 1. Changed ram timing to CAS3. 2. Turned all APM stuff off. 3. Installed new SBLive drivers. And I do remember something, this problem used to happen on my old motherboard as well. I'm not totally ruling out the problem yet, maybe after it runs for a good week or so, then I'll say its stable, but it looks good for now, been through games of Diablo II, NFS5, and Red Alert 2 with no probs.

Hmm, I was informed on another messageboard that the reason it reboots automatically is because I had that setting on when it does a memory dump during a Blue Screen O' Death. Now to figure out what's causing the BSOD... I was informed that I could be advanced power management, so I turned most of that stuff off in the bios. It could also be because I was running my PC133 ram at CAS2 when its only rated at CAS3 (although, I don't know about this, its rated for 133, but my memory bus is only running at 100). Anyway, next time (if there is one, I turned the CAS to 3 and turned APM off) It will show a BSOD and I will write down what it says.
