System is slowing down noticeably around 15 mins after boot-up. I have used System Mechanic but this has not resolved. I have used windows utilities but no luck. Upon rebooting the system works fine again for similar time period before slows down. System is Duron 700,128meg ram, fic az11e mthboard, ibm 75GXP 30mg harddrive,win 98. Also having occasional problem whereby incoming phone call to house causes computer to crash (generally while playing games). Any help would be appreciated.

Slow down

First of all check to see if you have any power management setting enabled and disable them, both in the BIOS and in windows. While your in the BIOS check to see if you have a "wake-on modem"(or some type of setting for the modem to wake your computer) and disable that also. Then make sure you don't have any software waiting to answer the phone if it rings...Let me know what you find.

What programs are running in the background, is your AZ11E set to auto, or are you messin' with the jumpers?
What video card are ya running?
Is is slowing down just sitting on the desktop?
What about Allocated ram, unused Physical ram, Swap file size, and Kernal usage? This can be found out using System Monitor in Accessories..if ya loaded it.
Did ya remove the plastic from fan before latching it to the CPU?
Is your Fan proper....IE. does it cool the CPU, or just beat the air into submission?
What is the temp in bios?
Is your Power supply certified by AMD....the CPU's run hot!
Does it perform the same with all cards removed except video?
