Thanks all, I got to find a way to check temp, but sure thats the culprit. Took out the 66mhz RAM, but no change. Didn't want to up V on it yet, i'll try diff fsb with clock multiplier...maybe production on this chip was bad or something. Unfortunately, can't take back...but will try to work something feasible out, since the mobo was free!! Thanks again!
Oh, forgot but i'm not experiencing problems after coldstart Jough...that was dbzeag. Up in an early post i said i was able to run for bout 3 hrs with no probs. But i'll try the diff fsb&x's. Thanks again!!
I believe the Vcore is 2.4 for amd k62- 450mhz and higher. If you bought the cpu in a box with a fan attached, the proper Vcore should be listeed on the fan hub. So maybe you need to change the Vcore. Only 400mhz and below supports 2.2 Vcore.
I have a 450 2.2v, it was running about 48c Started using waterfall and dropped 12c, put another fan on top of existing h/s fan and it now idles at 28, a little bit louder though.
Hmmm.. U guys having problems with 450, 500 Well Iīm about to buy a 550 Mhz... Hmmm... Itīs sounds like u get hold of remarked, but how to tell if the r fake or isnīt ???????????????????????????????????

Go to www.amd.com/
And look for yourself about the core voltage !!!
or e-mail those guys at the EPOX mobo manufacters, they r fast and very helpfull...

Epox MVP3G has to the best thing Ive done. Goes like a dream. Used to have a GA-5AA, unending problems with TNT2 and finally killed my K62 400 cpu when a cable hit the fan, cant happen with this M/B Ive set it to shut down if fan speed gets too low or CPU temp too high. Definately worth considering.
the processor specifically says 2.2v on it...so that can't be it...i think...well i've had better success with the removal of the 66mhz chip after all. seems it was causing the page faults and crap after all!!! boy don't i feel dumb....but i did add a case fan to pull in air, and a fan that fits in the 5.25 drive slot pulling in air. also reseated processor and added thermal paste....still got to burn it in for a bit though to make sure its no prob. oh the mobo i got is a gigabyte not epox...would epox still bother?
Well actually there are 2 types of k6/2
the old cores used 2.4v and the new cores use 2.2v
ok so you have a new core which can also take more o/c stress
