Hi,
I'm currently using that board with 2 466 celerons. I've overclocked
them to 560 with no problems. One thing I can think of with your
freezeups is if you're trying to overclock too much. When I was
overclocking before, the first thing to go would be my floppy drive.
It wouldn't work properly when I went above 560. The second thing
that would happen was periodic freeze-ups. The solution, of course,
was to lower my overclocking speed.
If you're not overclocking, do you have a Voodoo 3000/3500? They've
had some problems with ABIT BP6 boards. Have you messed with anything
in the BIOS besides the speed? When I messed around with some
settings before, I had the computer do some strange things.
The last thing you might check is if your 4 drives are properly
configured for "master" or "slave" mode. I have two drives and I had
to change a jumper on one to make it a slave and the other one a
master. They usually put the configurations as stickers on the back
of your hard drive.
Good luck.
