Random A3000 lockup problems

[98PaceCar]

Prmetime,

I just got done fighting this myself. The system would work fine for a while, but then start giving me random guru's. What I ended up doing was pulling all of the fast ram out of the mb, cleaning the legs (used a small emory board), and put them back in. Also on my system, the ram speed was set to 16 instead of 25 (it's a 25 mhz machine). Don't know if that was a problem or not, but before I did it I couldn't run a single burn in loop successfully and after I did it I was able to run till I got bored with no problems.

Try the ram, see what that gets you.

Good luck!

I'd at least give it a shot. I was at my wits end before I decided to try this and sure enough, my system has been stable ever since! Course, it's only been 2 days now, but I've run a lot of burn in on it with no problems!

And if you aren't using the zips on the mb anymore, you should sell me 8mb worth!!!!  :-D

Good luck and if you need a test program, let me know!

@jonbyk,

It's jumper 852. I forget which is which, but it's marked on the motherboard. This is of course assuming you have a 25mhz machine.

Kinda sounds like you've got more going on than just the ram speed, but who knows!

Good luck,
