Abit BX133-Raid

[Rudy]

I just bought from Outsideloop a Mobo/CPU combo (BX133-Raid w/ PIII 700e) & just finished assembling it on an ATX midtower case with 250w PSU. After I successfully booted the system, I went straight to the BIOS setup. When I was at the "PC Health Status Utility", my system hung & froze after 10 seconds. Very strange! I have not experienced this characteristic of a PC freezing at the BIOS Utility. I did not change anything on the setup, just read the default settings. This happen only when I go to the PC Health Status. I have to shut down and reboot. Not on any other part of the BIOS setup. Is anybody out there who can tell me, specially those who have bought this mobo if this is a problem or not? Need your help guys.
I surely would appreciate your input.

I have seen another post about the same problem. Probably a bios bug, and the next rev will likely fix it. Abit doesn't let things lie when they are aware of them. Have you checked their site to see if it is available yet?

...but none of your heatsink clips have broke off like mine with the motherboard manufacturer going down the pipes. Did I say Soyo were going bust. weren't me that said that. Am I privvy to some information or what???

Thanks for your reply. How did you fix it? BIOS update?

I have not been able to fix it as of yet.
