Hi
I'm hoping someone has gone through the same thing I'm going through! After I purchased my new KT7-R board, I came home and installed it with only the power supply, voodoo3 3000 agp card(tv out), 128 MB PC-133, and my new tbird 800mhz proc. On boot, I constantly get this persistent 'cpu is unworkable, check SOFTMENU III' message. I've taken it back to the vendor twice already, who says he posts it with both agp and pci cards no problem!? I've done my research and know I must disable the speed in the softmenu(which I've done). The end result remains the same, whenever I make a change in the bios and save and exit, I boot to a black screen, nothing. I find I must then reboot the computer several times,(sometimes 5-15 times) until I actually get anything. Then I simply get the 'cpu is unworkable message' The excitement of owning a KT7 is slipping away, but I'm plugging away at it. Any help would be appreciated if someone has been through this. Thanks
