Ok there are two systems, neither are mine.
the first has:
A7V133
Radeon VIVO 64mb DDR
Sblive value
Athlon 1400
768mb pc133
a couple 3com network cards
The second has:
Asus A7V-E
Radeon (not sure which)
Sblive Value
Athlon 1ghz
256mb pc133
56k modem
Both systems are unstable, and iratic. The first has been tried with Win98se, WinME, and Win2kPro. Always used the latest 4in1's (4.32v). The latest ATI drivers, and latest SBlive drivers. The second system is a dude I don't even know, and he emailed me because he saw my name in a Logic Audio forum. He is using winME, but had identicle problems which are:
The 4in1's will not install on WinME. They reach 100% and then the computer crashes. I have personally worked on the first system, and formatting/installing win98se allowed the 4in1's to install as usual, but that did not resolve anything.
The radeon will ONLY work if the SBlive is removed. The sblive will ONLY work if the radeon drivers are NOT installed. These two cards refuse to coexist on both Via boards.
I have tried the 686B fix, a myriad of different radeon drivers to no avail. Removing the Sblive stablized the system 95%, but there was still some shakiness. This is just doing anything, surfing, whatever - it does not have to be graphic intense to cause lockups, reboots, blue screens. I have tried the sblive in every slot, with and without the network cards. I have tried each stick of ram individually. I have searched the net and have found no reference to an issue with the RAdeon and Via chipsets to this magnitude.
I myself have an A7V (686A), with Sblive, Echo Gina, 2 network cards, and a Geforce2 GTS, and I have nothing like what these guys are experiencing. Is it an ATI thing? Anybody got info on this, before these dudes drive me nuts? Anyone running the same combo(s) successfully?
TIA
Sean.
