Crap.
a year ago I bought an asus A7v333 mobo, an xp 1800+ cpu, kingston value 512mb Pc2700, that has run fine for approximately a year now. Ok, so Asus released some new bios updates supporting new cpu's with fsb 333.
Great I thought so I went out and purchased, a new barton xp 2800+, with 333 Fsb. Since I installed it on my mobo, I've had the system freezing several times a day. A reinstall of xp does nothing to solve the problem.
system today:
A7v333 Bios 1017 latest officical released version.
Barton Xp 2800+
Gforce 3 Gti200 128mb
512 mb kingston value pc2700
2 x 80 gig in raid
Now I've come to the conclusion that the problem must be the mobo and the processor. I've tested the memory with mem-86 and found 0 errors, so it can't be memory. And the bios settings is as far as I can conclude correct for fsb 333.
I've done a search on the net to find solutions for my problem, but it seems like the A7v333 even though highly praised by THG and others at that time is not with out flaws, when it gets to the newest cpu's xp 2400 and upwards.
So it seems if I want to use my new cpu, I'm gonna have to get a new mobo, but the question is which one to buy for my konfig. I have the following demands for it:
It should be able to run my new Cpu, my ram, and it should have Ide133 raid 0 capability, besides that I could give a rats a.. for any other added features.
Another question is this: I can gather by reading around on THG, that the nforce II chip set seems to be the best thing around, but can a mobo with 400 Fsb, run with my konfig ?
Phew, that was a bit of a typing, but thanks for reading through it
And your help and suggestions is -=greatly=- appreciated.
