I recently built a system that worked fine during software installation, but in it’s first night of running crashed for no apparent reason and will not reboot. Nothing on the monitor, and keyboard and mouse do not respond. The system specs are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7NF-RZ
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2700+
RAM: Kingston Hyper-X PC2700
Video: ATI Radeon 9200
HDD: Maxtor 60 GB
Power Supply: 350 Watt
I did notice that the motherboard documentation says it’s only intended for 2.5 V RAM, while the Kingston Hyper-X PC2700 is rated at 2.6 V. Also, it did appear that the programs were running too slowly for a fresh system. Task manager did not indicate that the CPU was being overworked at all.
Any ideas?
