 |
|
Here is the set up:
Case: Powermax YT-040267-85 0327-4 PL 400 watt
Memory: Samsung 256mb PC2700 CL2.5
Processor AMD XP2000+
Board K7S5A Pro
Liteon 48x24x48 CDRW
I have tried three hard drives and Windows 98SE and Windows XP
Professional. Every time Windows starts the install program,
the PC locks up. I can run scan disc, format, and other disk
diagnostic programs but Windows install locks up every time.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... |

what type of video card? seems like a funny question i know but i had a
similar problem with an agp slot video card. win xp would lock up and reboot
during install. i took the agp video card out and put in a pci and
everything went fine, was able to install updated drivers for the other card
and get the system running rock solid!

Video card, the only card in it right now, is an S3 Savage 2000.
The processor came from my pc and the mainboard was used by my
son for a few months with no problems. I have used the Savage
2000 with an identical set up in my pc previously with no
problems.

Unplug the machine and clear the BIOS with the jumpers.
Maybe try flashing the BIOS.
No other ideas at this time.

I cleared the CMOS this morning and set the defaults at minimum. It
shows 256mb memmory but a 1256mb processor instead of a 2000+. I
think it is 100/100 in the CPU plug n Play instead of the 133/133
it should be to show it as an AMD XP 2000+. I loaded Windows set
this way and everything works. It just has the processor underclocked.
I haven't tries setting it back to 133/133 like it should be, yet.

Perhaps try putting your memory stick in the other slot and then set the bus
to 133/133.

I've had this video card in a pc with this same processor and an
identical board in the past with no problems. The main difference
between the two is the memory. One has DIMM 133mhz memory and it
works fine. The other has DDR PC2700 and won't work. |

I've tried both slots. It should work at 133/133 but it will not. It
will run at 100/100 but the processor speed is only 1247mhz with those
settings.

You gotta get another video card like the man said.
I have a pci modem that crashes my K7S5A Pro. Hard to believe but
it is true.
I got another modem and it hasn't even thought about crashing in 6
months.
You just gotta find the right stuff and it will make you happy.

Is this dependent on certain boards? I had the S3 2000 in a pc with
this same processor and an identical board. It worked fine. That
system is dual boot 98se and XP.

I guess the next easy things to try are:
1)Set you memory timings slower(ie:Timing Setting Mode - SAFE, etc)
2)Try a stick of SDRam 133MHz by itself (remove the PC-2700 stick)
3)Flash the BIOS to the HoneyX and then set the speed to 138/138.(going from
133/133 to 138/138 has been know to fix some problems)
I use the HX1209 bios.

I bought some PC2100 266 mhz and put that in after clearing the CMOS.
I set it at 133/133 as it should be. It locked up starting Windows.
It would run st at 100/100 with the PC2100 just like the PC 2700.
