System reboot error?
I've set up my NF7-S Ver.2 / Athlon XP 3200+/ 2- 36G WD SATA Raptors/ OCZ pc3200/ Radeon 9700pro/ TTGI 450W PS/ Got the SATA drivers loaded no prob./ Loaded Win XP pro/ Service pack 1 installed/ Everything is running at proper default speeds/ Not overclocked/ Ran testdisk and scanned for corruption also/ I keep getting restarts at different times and this error. Sometimes it will run 10-20 mins. Sometimes it reboots as soon as it gets to desktop. Right now it's been running 20+ mins/ Can anyone tell me what it is refering to?

Also checked and it's the right ram for this MB.
Gnome, No, I am not adding a sound card. I'm using the onboard sound and windoze update found those for updating. So, I tried to update them and they don't load. I don't think thats the problem anyway, because sound works fine. Tried starting it up this morning and it just reboots before getting to desktop now. I'll run memtest this morning.
Found out at the ABIT site that the NF7-S is compatible with cpu up to 2700.....?
Could that be the problem?---NF7-S, NF7-M, NF7 Motherboard Test Report
Checked the ram and it will use both kingston Kingston 256MB DDR SDRAM pc3200 (KVR400/256R) and the OCZ DDR PC-3200 / 400MHz / Revision 3 / Performance Series Dual Channel.
I'm getting the updated bios too. I hate messing with bios updates. It's confusing how Abit explains it.
Then looked at the proc with a magnifying glass.. low and behold there's minute chips on the edge. On one of the occasions that I replaced the proc..I forgot the shim and that's what must have done it. So, I'll be running the Athlon 2800+ for now. Thnx for the help guys. Appreciate it much friends.
I hope I'm right.
I wouldn't feel right tryin to RMA it. I've got 3 pc's done and just need to wait to get a cpu for the 4th. No biggie.
