Re: OT: PC problem that is driving me mad!

[<campbell@xxxxxxx>]

I had this problem with an older Asus MB K7M which did not like a pci
being
put in slot 1 (which it shared with AGP) and slot 5 which was also
shared....

Since i avoided these slots, no problems...

It was really annoying, especially when doing something important in a
rush,
it would seize nearly every time, now it works fine and seldom freezes
