Problems with BIOS flash on Ultra

I flashed my board to the "overclocked 2AA2R2" BIOS on soyo's site, http://www.soyousa.com, and now my comp will lock up after about 5 to 10 minutes. Is anyone else have problems with this BIOS??

System follows:
AMD XP 1800+ @ stock speed
SOYO Dragon Ultra Black
512MB of OCSystem Expeditious Gamer PC2700
ATI AIW 7500
IBM 20G & Seagate 40G HD
LG 32x12x40 CDRW
Generic 52X CD-ROM
Using the onboard sound, lan & USB 2.0
Generic Lucent modem
on WIN 2K Pro w/ all updates & most recent drivers for all

If I cant fix this I might just have to quit SETI

Since no one responded I did some research and found out that you have to clear the CMOS with JP5 before you flash. I figured I would post the fix that way if anyone else had the same problem they would know the work around.

But I would still say dont go with this BIOS!!

Re: Soyo Athlon motherboard issue

Your processor is unstable. you need to lower the processor
frequency or try different processor Vcore settings.


I remember I had that exact type of symptom, *even* when
idle at the Windows desktop with my Soyo SY-K7VTA-B
motherboard, because the processor voltage was a step
too high. Setting the processor Vcore to -0.025V solved the
major issue. Flashing the BIOS with the latest version also
fixes the processor Vcore issue.

But check this out RJA, its not overclocked, I am running the stock 11.5*133 .. and it only locks up when running seti.
Doesnt really matter anyway, my video card took a major dump and is non-functional right now. So until I get my grubby paws on a new video card the BIOS issue is purely academic.

this BIOS is fine for me, nice and stable.

was there even a reason for flashing the bios? if you dont have a reason you should never flash! try reflashing it or going back to the old version
