Is anyone here running a K7VZA v3.0 with an XP chip and running into any problems.
I would list mine, but they are far to long to list. Half the time it wont boot. I mean it powers up but doesnt post, no video nothing. I have to power it totally off and power it back on about a dozen times before it will boot. Then once it does it's totally unstable. Soldier of Fortune crashes, it sticks in a sound loop and locks up. I still have control of the mouse, but I can't do anything. Internet Explorer will crash now and again.
We thought it was power. I know have 2 power supplies running this thing. One for the motherboard and one for the fans and drives.
We thought it was drivers, but everything in here is updated, patched, fixed, and worked.
We thought it was heat but this thing has a MCXC370 on it, and the whole system is hooked up to an air conditioner in a case that ran dual PIII 800EB's at 1002Mhz each. So it's not heat either.
Hardware is as follows
ECS K7VZA 3.0 w/ 3.6 bios and latest 4in1's
XP 1800+
2x256Meg Crucial PC-133
Soundblaster Live w/ latest drivers
Radeon 8500 w/latest drivers
3Com905B NIC w/latest drivers
Onboard sound is disabled. Bios is set to lowest and slowest settings. Soldier of Fortune has been patched. WinXP has been patched for use with XP CPU's. I have done everything I can think of.
Want to chance a guess or three, at this point I'm ready to put the dual Intels back in and chuck this thing in the river....
