EPOX 8K7A+ Motherboard Problems

[JonathanF]

I just installed my EPOX 8K7A+ Motherboard and I have the following problems.

1. When I perform a cold boot I receive the error message:

The System is in Over Clock Fail.

Please setup CPU Host Clock in Freq/Voltage Control Setup

I set the Frequency/Voltage Control to the following.

Autodetect - Disable

Speed Spectrum - Enabled

CPU Clock - 133

I tried many different variations and I still receive the same error message.

On a System Restart or a Warm Boot I do not receive this error message.

2. I have some Hardware incompatibilities with the Diamond Viper II AGP Graphics Card.

I set the Viper II to AGP 2X instead of 4X, and the matching Motherboard settings to 2X also.

I cannot reload the Diamond Viper II Graphics Card Device Drivers.

Everytime time that I reload the Diamond Viper II Drives, it hangs the Computer.

3. I do have a Sound Blaster Live PCI Card and my sound works perfectly.

Anything that I should know about this Card causing any incompatibilities?

4. The Windows ME OS System seems to hesitate when I run Control Panel and many other Programs.

I did reinstall Windows ME on top of itself, but I still receive this hesitation on many of the Programs.

5. My previous Motherboard was an ASUS A7V with an AMD Athlon 1.33 GHZ 266 FSB CPU.

My current new Motherboard is a EPOX 8K7A+ with an AMD Athlon 1.4 GHZ 266 FSb CPU.

How was my older Computer System with the ASUS A7V Motherboard run cleaner and had no compatibility problems with any of daughter Cards, when the EPOX 8K7A+ Motherboard should blow the ASUS A7V Motherboard away?

Should I have installed Windows ME on a clean System, instead of over itself?

6. I did download the latest BIOS from the EPOX Web Site.

I'd like to help you, but I can't understand how you boot up your pc if it doesn't boot on a cold boot. I think you should put the autodetect on. please tell me what happens.


Sh!t Happens.
