    I'm on my second K7 motherboard. The first board I brought home, I could get the floppy light to go off. It just kept running and I couldn't get it to load the Operating System. I tried Windows 98E, Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I kept getting error messages. I took mother board bac ...

    Exact same thing, I have about 5 of these boards between friends and myself. I had one of them do nothing but spin the Hard drive, and make the CD Drive click continuously, no POST but it seemed to do it 95% of the time, the other 5% it would boot normally. I tried swapping EVERYTHING from a frien ...

    for generic office use to 3d-gaming, this is a good, solid motherboard. earlier revisions of the bios are unhappy with certain system configurations, but once flashing to a newer version, all of these problems disappear.

    the SiS735 chipset by no means competes with the nforce2 in terms of 3d gam ...

    I built a system with 2000xp processor. On occasion it boots only with 100mhz, instead of 133mhz, causing the pc to be recognised as 1250xp. It also re-sets the time and date.
    I've tried re-setting cpu set up in bios.
    It doesn't do it all the time, and I have put a new battery in.

    Any one help? ...

    I have installed 5 of these motherboards and have had no problems. If your thinking of getting one, then DO your homework check out for compatibility issues for your current hardware especially the graphics card. The wrong graphics card will freeze your system (gforce2 4400 is a gauranteed NO). Choo ...
