issues with 7N400 Pro2

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

Hi folks.

I'm having trouble getting a stable system. I have a GA 7N400 Pro2
with a Barton 3000+ cpu, 1GB kingston ram, eVGA Geforce 6800 (which
replaced an ATI Radeon AIW9800 pro 128mb that constantly crashed the
system), Audigy 2 ZS platinum, wd and maxtor drives.

The ATI card worked 95+% of the time on my previous Epox 8RDA3+ system
(though capture in ATI MMC was buggy), but it started crashing the
system regularly when I changed to the new board (which supported the
cpu at full speed). So I changed to an nVidia chipset card ~ perhaps
naively thinking that it would cooperate better with the nVidia
mainboard chipset. Things are okay at the moment, but there are still
occasional random system restarts.

I never get blue screens, things just reset. I'm guessing it's a
memory problem, but I would be interested to know if this might be a
problem with the boars?

I have the same motherboard and video card and I've never had a problem.
Did you do a clean OS install?
Is your PSU up to par?
