The Power Supply use is ATX - 300 P - P4, Motherboard is ECS Elitegroup, RAM is DDRAM 128, Processor is Intel Pentium 4 1.8 ghz. How to turn off Automatic Reboot on System Failure in Windows ME. Thanks
Depending on what you can afford, I found that simply by adding more RAM, 512MB or more, I could easily install XP Professional, even though I had to get a new modem, as the old one was incompatible.
My first reaction to your problem would be to re-seat the existing RAM module and see if there is anything loose inside the computer.
TAKE PROPER ANTI-STATIC PRECAUTIONS!
ME will take 512 MB of RAM without adding any vcache settings to system.ini as I remember.
If you install Everest (see link below and subsequent links) you can not only check the temperatures which your computer is running but you can also find out more about your computer's mainboard and see just how much RAM it can take. Up to 1024 MB of RAM is suitable for most uses with XP when multitasking. 512 MB is usually plenty for home use.
If you can post the details and model number of the ECS Elitegroup mainboard it would help.
As a general rule built in Video is not such a good idea if the RAM use is - inclusive - meaning that the Video RAM is shared with the system RAM.
A separate Video card with its own RAM is a better proposition, especially where performance is concerned.
If you right-click My Computer how much RAM does it say in the Properties box? (Just in case it doesn't say 128 MB)
