I just bought a new P4 1.8 Chip with a Soyo P4 152 mobo and 2 sticks of PC133 256 MB chips. The problem I'm having is that sometimes when the computer reboots it won't find the AGP card (GeForce 4 64 MB less than a year old) after turning the computer on/off a few times it will start fine. Other times when it starts it will make it to the Windows XP Pro screen (shows the op loading) but then blacks out and stops booting.
When the computer does boot and make it all the way to the op, it seems like it is running slower than the 700 Mhz it replaced.
Checking BIOS, it shows the correct processor, the computer finds all the RAM. The video card has been pulled and reseated, the memory pulled, rearranged and reseated with the same results. The case, p/s and HD are also new.
Any ideas? Any help is apprecited.
