K6-2 500's are very picky about cooling and power supply capacity. Did you use thermal grease and do you have an oversize heatsink with at least a 50 or 60mm fan on it?

Did you happen to change from running a 66Mhz to 100MHz FSB when you went from the 300 to the 500? > ------------------------------------------------- > Chris Byrnes, Owner NSI NIC HANDLE CB5820 > Jeah Communications http://www.jeah.net > ------------------------------------------------- > > On Wed, 23 Aug 2000, John wrote: > > > Anything showing up in your message log?
