I just built my first AMD Athlon XP 1700+ computer using a Shuttle motherboard. This is not my first experience with building computers, just AMD based. I’ve worked only with Intel. My problem is Lockups. Just random lockups. It even locks up while idle. I followed a suggestion to download “memtest-86” to check the memory. Memtest, during about 7 passes reported 55667 errors. It appears the momory might be defective so now I’m concerned about the motherboard too, How can I test the motherboard before the warranty runs. I’m rather disappointed that AMD/Shuttle turned out to be such a troublesome project. Any suggestion as to how to clear up the Lockups is WELCOME!
