Please check the RAM. Sounds like a memory issue, possible a bad RAM.
With Abit 6bx-2, I found a problem with SDRAM config, that is, only 2 sdram can
be taken, Abit included this on the manual, at SDRAM config section. I have sent
emails to Abit to conform this problem since I feel this is waste of space to
place 4 DIMMs on mobo but only 2 can be used. First they told me that it is not
possible, after I pointed the place on the manual and explained what will happen
if I put more than 2 SDRAM chip, they never reply to me again.
