pc stress test crushing

Hi,

set up win 2000 pro on aopen bx 440 p3 500 with 128 ram. when playing
winamp with full screen visualisation on pc crushes after few seconds.
However it plays fine without visualisation. Also, pc hangs when
copping large files (700 mb) from cd-rom to hdd.

I've tried different memory, removed cd-rom, modem and pc still hangs.
What could be the cause of it crushing?

Thanks

If your computer is "crushing" you might want to make some of your fans blow
inward. If they are ALL sucking out, the case will eventually crush itself
due to lack of air pressure!!!

There's a strong possibility it may indeed have something to do with cooling
(check the fan and clean the dust from the heatsink), I don't know who
penned the word "crashing" but crushing may be a better term to use since
that's the way I felt when I was running 98 most of the time.

Have you removed the fan off your CPU heatsink and cleaned the fins with a
paintbrush or something similar?

It sounds like your system may be crashing due to heat problems.

Checked the cpu and all well connected and clean. Put another cpu in
and just keeps crushing same.

What else could be wrong but the mambo?!

I was going to ignore this, but the selection of verbiage is
getting too funny. We need a python to do the crushing, while
dancing the mambo, and copping the files sounds like a petty
felony to me. I have no idea what is meant by visualization.

Does anybody bother to read what they have typed before sending?

If the problem is a language barrier, my apologies for poking fun,
and I hope the result is somewhat instructive.

Everything.

Bad cards, memory.. even the case itself if you have the board mounted
wrong.

Disassemble it and start it on your desk if necessary.

The visualization refers to winamps visual plug in display, which
shows various images movements corresponding to sounds.
