I am changing to Win 2000 on my 2nd Box. I keep geting an error when I try to install Win 2000. I have already installed it on my main machine with no problems. Are there any problems with Win 2000 and A7V133. I am not using the
RAID controller. Could it be the onboard sound? This setup worked with Win 98se.

What is the specific error you're getting? I was able to install all the flavors of Windows with my A7V133 just fine.

If you're overclocking, that might be the case, even though you could install Win98. Check the memory timings that it's not set too aggressively, either.

yes.
please tell us the specific message, or if it doesnt give one, who and when it crashed.

we arnt phsysic you know!

last year i had an a7v133 with win2k with not too many problems besides figuring out how to use a new OS.

but i wasnt using either onboard sound or RAID.
you could always try disabling them via the bios/jumpers as a last resort.
