This was actually rather interesting....

I got this BSOD over and over when trying to install XP on a laptop for a client. The guy actually tried to fix it himself before giving it to me, and said he replaced the RAM, so that is out. For argument's sake, I swapped the RAM into the other bank incase he put it back in the same one, thinking the channel is bad. I also found that it could be due to overclocking, which I thought was strange since it's a laptop. But, after reverting the BIOS to factory settings, works like a champ.

Who overclocks an IBM Thinkpad A31? lol...
 
might be the IRQs??? :p

How do you OC a Vaio R600?? I wana try. lol

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
