The new PC is running, sort of. I removed one of the two DIMMs in it, and it stopped
throwing BSOD events every few seconds. Either one DIMM was really bad, or Abit's
quality was lousy the day they made this motherboard.
In order to get it running, I cloned the C: from this older PC, cleaned out a lot
of stuff, and ran it in safe mode on the new one while doing stuff with Add/Remove,
Device Manager, and MSconfig -- obviously, Setup was telling lies because the MB
or the RAM drove it crazy.
Same thing with the generic CD drivers on the MS floppies, but it's still not clear
which is all bad, or part bad, of the parts assembled into the new system. Right
now, with 256 MB's of RAM, it's acting like it only has 32 MB's, complaining it can't
start programs because it's out of "free memory" practically from boot-up.
For any hardware oriented readers, it's an NF7-S2G, an AMD 2800+ Barton, Aeroflow
HSF, Kingston Value RAM, eVGA FX 5700LE video, WD 80 GB primary Hdd, Maxtor 40 GB
secondary Hdd, and LiteOn CD/DVD optical drive, all wrapped up in a Kingwin KT 424
aluminum case.
