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.
Moral: Don't you get cheap and reuse old hardware...
