Well A HAPPY NEW YEAR to you ALL

Well sold the old CPU to a friend, Use FAT due to it being a Dual boot system
with Win98se


Ran the FULL version of HOT CPU last night for some hours Diagnostic mode, no
problems cpu got to 56c.


CPU is a new Boxed Northwood 3.2g, preferred this due to the heat problems
in the room and the problem with Prescott, like more heat and more power with
very little improvements.

Yes stock Fan/Heatsink, idle temp around 36c-40c..


I was getting a lot of no responding things days before this all happend and
found 2 viruses but I don't think they were working..

CPU Temp was OK at that time..

 

Well, if a rebuild is looking in order then maybe it's time to ditch 98.
Even *I* ditched 98.

Euuwww. Hold old's the motherboard - maybe something's buggered up
there? Are all the cards seated properly? I've had some issues with this
in the past too. Possibly you have something nasty in your swap file.
Also, are you using a disk >137GB because there can be some driver
issues although IIRC these were cleaned up for SP1.

Other than that, I dunno.

Correct, but be aware that NTFS meta-data can become corrupted due to
lost writes incurred by disk controller 'write back caching' if the
controller firmware doesn't observe 'write through' requests (SCSI FUA).

Not every thing will run under XP.

Yes Gigabyte i875 MoBo 1 year old, 420w Thermaltake PSU 1 year old.


2 x 512megs PC3500 Kingmax DDR Rams.

2 x 120g Seacrate hard drives.


After running lots of things even PRIME95, I had to reboot to run a Floppy
program, after that Scandisk came up with stacks or errors..???

I am Running Active SMART and it list T.E.C. one drive life as Jan 2005 and
the other March 2005, but I do not understand the SMART errors at all, I have
done lots of searches in the past and just got utterly confused.

SMART predictions only work after monitoring for some time I have read.

The SMART bar graphs are ok and drives show as OK except for the T.E.C.
date.

Drives run nice and cool (30c) 120mm fan in front of them..

Just because one partition has to be FAT32 doesnt mean all of them do
of course using other file systems will prevent win98 from being able to
read the non FAT32 (or FAT16 ) partition
