Those of us with problems are using aa A7V! Not a K7V!!! But does a K7V have a Promise 100 contoller? I had one K7V before, ran without any problems.... :-/ Believed that upgrading would make everyting easier...

I´m runnning a T-Bird 950@1160 with a corevoltage of ~2.17v an a modified A7V. Does anyone know what voltage should you use at this speed? Or if someone has a "chart" over which voltages at which speeds with the T-Bird? Of course there is the "trial and error", but that would be an expensive one... Also noticed that my T-Bird is quite unstable at this speed using voltages below 2.17 Think comparing OC:ed cpu:s and their voltages/settings would come in handy..

HarU: Leave Win2k as it is, the only updates/mods I´m using are: SP1 and "windowsupdate", but one thing I´ve noticed is that "tweaks" (specially those in HKLM\ system\ currentcontrolset\ control\ sessionmanager\ memorymanagement\) made some of the "insability" reappear. I don´t know if it has anything to do with BIOS rev. 1003 or win2k + A7V... To enable/disable AGP4x on the A7V use: System performance setting: normal (agpx2) or optimal (agp4x) To check what settings you are currently using (like agp, fastwrites etc.). Use WinCpuID from: http://www.h-oda.com/ Had to move my IDE Plextor CD-R to the primary IDE channel, rest of my drives are SCSI. But there must be a way to enable the seconday channel, have read that this problem is a flaw in this Bios Rev. (1003). I don´t know how the IDE Channels behave with 1002? Perhaps someone knows? Getting a bit sleepy here.. (01.54, Sweden) See you tomorrow then...

I´ve read posts and recieved mail about different solutions... ..but most of these "solutions" have I tried already and some of them are just bull****. BUT, the best possible solution right now is to degrade YES! degrade your BIOS to 1003, that is what I´m running now! Every tweak enabled in BIOS and AGPx4! I´ve been running 3DMark2000, q3 timedemos and even surfing right now with WinAmp playing! Sounds good? Or if you don´t want to flash your BIOS I suggest you use these settings, which never hang my computer using Win2k: System performance setting: normal (agpx2) PCI and other memory "tweaks": disabled And leave AGP aperture size to default And DIMM Interleave: Disabled Right now I´m running my Tunderbird 950@1160, with every tweak enabled in BIOS and even!! AGPx4! That´s true =) But that is with BIOS Rev. 1003 The only problem I encountered is when i make a cold boot my "post" reports 1133 instead of 1150, and a slight decrease in cpu-temprature. And it is not possible to disable the ata100 controller. ------------------ Have you opened your eyes and looked around lately?

HarU: Thanks alot, but have tried that already and a couple of thousand other combinations, atleast it feels like it. what really pisses me off is that nowhere can you find ANY help from "ARSES" (asus). This "issue" is discussed on MANY forums, so I guess that "they" cannot turn their backs on it forever..... By the way is it not only possible to install Via4in1´s agp driver in turbo mode only in win9x?

Have posted this to a couple of other forums, so why not post it here too? Believe that the only thing that helps is to post as many times possible and hope that "arses" (asus) will egmit that there is something wrong with their board, a7v that is. Anyway I have the same problems as mny others, using Win2k + A7V (kt133) + t-bird + GeForce = lockups and instablility. Have tried almost everything, including BIOS upgrades/downgrades, tons of drivers, win2k settings, hotfixes and reg edits. Different settings in BIOS and even moving pci cards around. Finally tried to run without anything exept with my GeForce installed... But one thing I´ve noticed is that my computer is much stable without my SB Live and BIOS settings to Normal instead of optimal. I know that people have suggested it, but is that what I HAVE TO DO?? I choose a Asus because of it´s known stability and performance. But now I have to "strangle and amputate" my computer just to make it run a couple of hours extra? All the things that people here and others have tried it points to one thing! Incompability!! It´s not up to tomshardware or anandtech to solve It´s ASUS job to solve this issue! The only thing I can think of is to post as many replies and topics around the internet and hope that Asus will realize that this is real... And have anyone tried to contact Asus? What I know, endconsumers is not that important to them... Enough for now... =) Excuse my poor english, but I do my best. One thing I would like to add is that I´m using a Adaptec 19160 scsi-board, the SB Live I mentioned earlier, scsi-disks, "certified" PC133 memory, "K7 certified" 300W powersupply and extra cooling. The point is that I´ve used this in a prior computer with Asus *brr* =) K7V and Athlon 900 without ANY problems.. Funny huh? ------------------ Have you opened your eyes and looked around lately?
