I have just attempted to upgrade my computer with an 80gb ultra ata maxtor hard drive and I am having tons of trouble.
My specs are
Athlon Xp 2500+ Barton Core @ 333mhz/ Thermaltake Volcano 12 heatsink
512 mb PNY Optima Ram @ 333mhz
A/Open dvd/cd burner
Soyo KT-600 v1.0 mobo
Nvidia FX5200 128mb Agp
3 80mm case fans 2 back/1 side
Toshiba 3.5" floppy
I had a refurbed maxtor diamond max plus 6 10gb hard drive and was having a lot of trouble with it running slow. I went and purchased this one and while booting up I would get a cmos checksum error and it would shut down with a loud beep like it was overheating. I reset the cmos several times and still came up with the error. If I reset the computer i don't get the error. I then tried installing windows and it would run through loading the files and when it would get to loading windows the comp would shut down with a loud beep. I went into bios and checked the temp and the temp on the die of th cpu was around 170*f after just 30-1minute of being on. I don't know if the mobo is malfunctiong or what. I still have the warranty on the mobo if I should need it. The ethernet connector on the mobo went bad so I probablt need to get a new board anyways. I know this isn't very clear to what my problem is but if anyone has any advice on what to do it would be greatly appreciated.
