If you need to run the above two pieces of hardware together, and notice
frequent disk lockups, consider reading this:

Thats what happens manufacturers try to push products before competition
in the market without sufficient testing. In the long run it is only
counter-inuitive.
Even I had serious case of icompatibility with a serial mouse and RAM. I
didn't believe it at first. But if I removed the mouse and started the
PC... things looked OK. The mouse and borrowed RAM worked.
I ended throwing the mouse away :)
Warm wishes and a Happy New 2006!

I actually have a very similar problem - ever since I got my Geforce FX5200
card.
HDD is Samsung 40GB @ 5200rpm(fairly low-end by any measure).
CPU Celeron 2.4GHz(18x133) on VIA-based Asrock mobo.
For the record - BIOS version is already the latest released by the
manufacturer.
But it always locks up on heavy disk activity. Problem can be cured by
disabling DMA - if you can live with that!!! Experts on the Nvidia forum
actually told me that my 350-Watt SMPS was apparently not able to supply
enough power to sustain the system and I need a bigger power supply.
Don't have the dough to spend on power supply right now - so I
*under-clocked* the CPU from 2.4GHz to 2.2GHz by pulling the FSB from 133 to
122 MHz - system is stable atleast for the last 3 months.

Since we are on the subject. When I bought my P4 about a couple of years
ago. It would switch on all by itself. It took us, my vendor and i,
about a month and 6 days that the problem was in the keyboard.
