    I have a new M6BNe I just put together and I'm having some stability issues.

    Specs:
    ASUS M6BNe Chassis
    Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz
    1024MB Mushkin PC3200 SODIMM
    Toshiba 60GB 5400RPM HDD
    Intel PRO/Wireless 2200

    Bios Updated to Revision 203
    Windows XP Home Fully Updated
    all drivers installed properly.

    During install of Windows XP Home I was getting a blue screen error. I'm not having a constant problem but it seems with over time of use the computer will begin to blue screen. I'm worried about heat or something being an issue but the computer does work kind of. Mushkin sent the wrong RAM as this computer can only use PC2700 so I'm waiting on that, they overnighted the correct PC2700.. I'm hoping the issues are caused by the RAM, but I dunno.. I've seen it before in desktops.. but other then that my worries all come to the CPU. Any ideas on why I get random BSOD's as time on PC goes up stability goes down..?

    I am not seeing this type of problem at all and have built dozens of these. I am only using good quality Corsair memory though. [?]

    Well it was the RAM, using CPUZ when I was having stability problems I saw the following for my dual 512MB Mushkin PC3200 SODIMM's:

    Frequency 166.7
    FSB : DRAM 3.5
    2.0:3:3:7

    Now with the dual 512MB Mushkin PC2700 SODIMM's I see:

    Frequency 166.7
    FSB : DRAM 2.5
    2.5:3:3:7

    So all is well now, Mushkin just made a mistake in shipping.. the PC3200 must have not been compatible when timings changed. Glad it works now, no difference in performance. [ :D]
