Win2k, KT133/VIA, GeForce 2 stability (lack thereof)
Ugh, this is frustrating. I came from an Asus P2B (440BX) with a P2 333mhz system that *never* crashed. I got a 98 crash every once in a while, but 2000 never crashed. I also used a Voodoo3 in it. I'm not used to tweaking my card as much as I have to now.

Sadly, I can't say the same about my current system. Config:
Standard PC - ACPI disabled in W2K setup
Asus A7V rev. 1.01 M/B (no jumpers) BIOS v1.03
Athlon T-bird 800mhz with heatsink (temp. stays around 91 degrees farenheit)
256MB PC133 Corsair RAM
GeForce 2 GTS 32meg (Annihilator 2)
5.22 Detonator drivers
Linksys 10/100 PCI card
30.7 IBM Deskstar HD on Ultra ATA/100 controller with Promise W2k drivers
Pioneer 16x DVD-ROM
SB Live - LiveWare 3
USB Intellimouse Explorer
MS Nat. Keyboard Pro
Via 4 in 1 4.23 drivers installed
AGP at 2x
Here is what I have tried:
Extra cooling.
Latest Det drivers - 5.32.
GeForce FAQ site tips
Notes:
In diablo 2, twice I've gotten CD read errors (event log) that claimed an error occured during a paging operation.
Crashes always lock the machine hard, requiring a restart.
IRQ 5 is being shared between the Ethernet card and the USB hub. Problem there? I can't change either of the device's IRQ settings.
PS/2 mouse keeps being detected even though I don't have one hooked up.
System info file: http://www.mattgreen.org/temp/shiva.nfo
Also, I'm running Norton Antivirus 2000 in the background.
