MT freezes after a few min., all worked fine with 2xR52 and 1TPlink and 1xNIC, does anyone can help me with this problem.
The PC is a Duron 750MHz with 128MB RAM.

You said all worked fine - but you didn't tell us what you changed from when it worked fine to freezing up.....

Looks like you are trying to say you added an R52 card - is that correct?

That being the case - I'd switch PCI slots and see if that fixes your issue. I have seen some cards (both NIC and wireless) in certain pc based ROS apps freeze up after a few minutes w/NIC or wireless cards in certain slots. Usually this occurs when you fill all the PCI slots - there are only so many interrupts and they end up getting shared which freezes the cpu...

Look at this hardware note:

AMD Duron is not recommended with the Atheros chipset as it may freeze up.

What's about the AMD Athlone64 processors ?

Did you try it with MikrotikOS ?
With/Without atheros cards ?

The advantage of AMD processors is obviouse in heating emission area !

I have Mikrotik on AMD Duron Abit mainboard VIA KT133

1 x Atheros 5212 some no name miniPCI card with adatper.
2 x Atheros cheap GigaByte card
1 x Atheros 5213 older GigaByte card
2 x Dlink VIA network card

all six PCI slot is full in outdoor case work last 4 month in this configuration no problems.
Also use some cheap configuration like VIA chipset for Intel Celeron S478 and work without any problem.
Only have problem with BX mainbaord and some older Pentium 3 but its posible broken mainboard or don't like cheap atheros cards

with one miniPCI card in adapter work now.

Best regrads.
