I've run some diagnostic utilities and they report my CPU (2600 thoroughbred) to be running at 1262. My bios says (my FSB?) speed is 100. I tried to change it to 166 and it failed to boot (rebooted on its own with setting changed back to 100) My questions: 1) can some recommend a good diagnostic...

I have a 8KNXP with an Antec truepower 430 watt psu along with a 3 gig p4 processor and a gig of ram. The motherboard requires i up the voltage to the AGP card by +.2 otherwise windows will reboor randomly. Anyone else having this problem. I'm not overclocking anything.

I have exactly the same problem with unknown device as Wizard of Odd in a previous post. quote In my hardware manager i have an "unknown device" (under Other Devices) with an exclamation point. Clicking on Properties shows me that there is no driver, but the location is "on VIA Standard PCI to...

i have the 700npro2 board. i tried installing a volcano 7 on my 2600+ XP but there is a capacitor that blocks the heatsink. is there any quality heatsink that will fit on this board?

I have a strange problem. I have a GA-700N Pro MB and was using the onboard Network adapter for my DSL. I flashed the BIOS from F9 to F10 using Q-Flash and everything went smoothly. However, my DSL network connection will no longer work using the built in Network Adapter. I installed a...

Hi, I've had my 8KNXP running for about a month now. I have my old P2 200mhz machine running beside it. Every night I backup 700mb from a 3rd computer on the LAN. I have no other complaints with the 8KNXP other than the copy time problem below. With the P2 machine the backup takes about 20...

Installed a new HSF application on my system tonite. found 2 capacitors leaking on the mobo, bulging on top as if they're ready to pop (Gigabyte 7VTXE). So far it dont look as if they've dripped any dielectric onto the mobo yet but getting close. no apparent problems as of now but for those...

I am in a quandry as to what to buy, either the 7DXE or 7VA. I know the 7VA has USB 2.0 and and a faster FSB and takes PC2700 RAM, but I am really strapped for cash and am using an Athlon 1.2 Ghz at 200 FSB anyway. The price difference from Dabs is £9.00 and PC2100 ram is the same price...

I was having random computer shutdowns so I updated my bios to the latest, and updated the 4in1 chip drivers to the latest. Now my computer is shot. The bios boot fine through the POST, but as soon as Windows XP SP1 (fully updated) starts, the computer slows down to almost a stop. It takes...

I saw lots motherboard BOIS has a line called External CPU clock what's it's difference between FSB and external CPU clock? in BOIS i usually saw people set FSB=166MHz for AMD motherboard. but i also heard P4 CPU has 400 / 533 / 800 MHz FSB. would that means AMD CPU is much slower than P4's?...

My GA-7VAXP Ultra Chipset fan has started being really noisy. I took it off and cleaned it out and that seemed to help a bit because it was clogged with dust and dirt, but it's still really loud. There are times when it will eventually calm down, but most days it just stays really noisy. I'm...

Hello All, I have been reading up on the B core t'breds, and the consensus seems to be that most of them can run at 166 (333). The thing is, the 7VAX-A board I have only has the switch for Auto/100. There is a place on the board where another switch looks like it could have been placed... IF i...

I'm ditching my Abit KT7-Raid and 1.1GHz TB and thinking of going for a Gigabyte GA-7N400-L1 and a 2500+ Athlon XP (333MHz Barton core) with PC2700 RAM as it's a reasonably priced combination. I just have a few questions before I get the credit card out; 1. Does anyone have any comments, good or...

I tried this board with an image of my old W98 SE system, and with a fresh install of W98SE, and had all kinds of problems with stability. Also, the sound would not work. (It worked fine on a Windows XP partition, so I'm sure the hardware was OK). I was just wondering if many people run this...

Hi, I just bought a 8knxp. I was planning on using my existing maxtor 120GB drive with installed W2K. So I hooked it up to the IDE1 connector. POST went well, I even got a short W2K start up screen. Then: Blue screen, INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE. Seems W2K doesnt like to be transplanted from one...

Please could someone help with a major problem I'm having at the moment. I dual boot my PC with Bootmagic to two different versions of XP. I built the PC from new and had no problems setting this up. I have recently decided to have a fresh install on both sides, but have run into a problem....

Hello, It could be that you need to relax the timings a bit with the second stick in. Are both sticks running fine separately, i.e. no errors in Memtest? If so, try relaxing the timings and look again. Regards, Boudewijn "Bob Davis" wrote in...

Just had my new system setup with Xp with two SATA Raid drives. Ran perfectly. Loaded Norton Ghost 2003 and went to do my first backup. Would not boot to DOS as normally does. SATA Raid was not unbootable. Found I had to delete array and recreate it to get back about 112 megs of drive space...
