72 hour system burn-in is complete! this is a very stable board with the right memory combination. It runs best with the bios upgrade and via drivers installed soundcard install files should be downloaded from the website rather than from the install cd this board is designed for the AMD k6 and...

Sounds like the beginning of a physical hard drive crash. did you use any disk diagnostics eg. norton, western digital data lifeguard or seagate seatools? I named them all cause you didn't state the model or manufacturer of drive you have.

BTW after installing the new bios, the system not only recognizes the 80 pin hd cable it also runs the hard drive at ATA66! With no further problems. As for the memory issue... Can someone please run a 256 mb pc100 module in their bank 0(zero), and let me know if it runs ok? I plan to send...

Belgarrath, Is it harddrive problems?? Te guy i just bought my board from just repeated my problem with the pc 133 modules Heres is the email he just sent: (Thanks for the info. I had time to test the 2 128mbs PC133 last night. Ran fine for about 20 minutes but then had problems refreshing...

P.S. that ) was supposed to be a 0 "Let me know if anyone has had success with both ) and 1 populated." Should read "Let me know if anyone has had success with both 0 and 1 populated." Time to stop using my copy of "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" as a coaster. :P

Working system! but it will not do 128 mb pc133 in both banks, just bank 0. (So much for Kingston saying that the pc 133 is backward compatable) The dealer I bought it from said he never tested it with more than bank 0 populated and will retest (possible bios issue). Let me know if anyone has...

MrBoJangles, Did you try installing the via 4in1 patch for windows 98? win 98 has irq routing issues that via fixed with the 4 in 1 drivers (one was the irq miniport routing issue that caused irq addresses to be misassigned). I still use win 98 on my via chipset systems so I know this all too well.

memory revisited..... for some reason this board don't like both of the 128 mb knigston modules I got for it (picky picky)it will load bank 0 fine but if I put the other in bank 1 I get GPF city!!!!(general protection fault) switching modules doesn't help either, now pc 133 ram should be...

Mystery of the pc speaker solved!!! The pc speaker IS built into the sound card on this board!!! if the external speakers are plugged into the sound output while the board boots up you will hear the POST beep! Never seen anything like it before. Good thing this case came without a built in...

belgarrath, set bios "quick self test" to "enable" to stop the repeating memory count on boot. as for the floppy drive make sure cable is set so pin 1 on both board and floppy, match stripe on cable. dabowen46 try this site for x86 specs...

is that a cyrix 6x86? the AMD k6-2 333 and k6-2 333/66 vcc is 2.2 the k6-2 333 needs the cpu/host set at: 66.8 or 95 depending on sram speed installed pc 100/133 sram can be set at 95 for non pc 100/133 set it at 66.8 The k6-2 333/66 can only be set at 66.8

belgarrath, check your jumpers again, had the same problem with my k6-2 550 mhz no video until I set the cpu jumpers correctly. look at the charts printed on the board and set the specs for k6 -2 350 for: cpu/host (clock frequency) 1.5/3.5 bus at 66.8 or 100 if using pc 100/133 modules and the...

ok, don't even bother trying to install the audio driver form the cd rom if you have windows 98, it's totally useless it will ask for windows 98 cd then tell you the files being copied are older than what you have, then it will say error69 cannot install ess allegro PCI sound driver. Go to...

belgarrath, set your clock multiplier frequency (cpu/host on board) to 1.5/3.5 jp4 off jp5 off jp6 off set your core voltage(vcc) to 2.2 jp7 off jp8 on jp9 off jp10off jp11 no jumper bus speed to 66.8 for non pc 100 sram modules jp12 on jp13 off jp14 off jp15 no jumper unless using pc...

ok ignore my last two postings please Afte i let off some steam i realized that GPF's are memory issues I pulled the 128 mb module in slot 1 and the board started right up, bad module, Now for the next issue win 98 won't let me install the drives for the ess allegro sound anyone got a solution.
