EddNog,
I have a similar setup with the exception that I have an Entagen 7 port powered
USB hub and am using two Corsair 128MB PC100 DIMMs. I am running successful at
3.5X100.

You may have a problem with too much sh*t in your computer and not enough memory
to support it. I can't believe you skimped on the memory...

Sorry for the sarcasm... Suggest you strip it down to the minimum video and
SDRAM and see if it boots at 3.5X100. Then add the WD hard disk and see if it
gets into windows and is stable.... Then start adding all the good stuff until
it fails.

I don't think your going to get a good answer like "Move DIMM to slot 1",
"update BIOS ROM to 1006" until you slim down the pickings.

Quite a rig you have there.....
regards,
karl
