I just ordered an abit KT7A MB and a AMD Athlon 850mhz tbird…Since day one I have been having problems but I dunno if it is the motherboard or the chip..I have micron memory and I know its compatible with my board…first I was having problems with it sharing resources but thats squared away..My V core value was alittle high like .06-.07 V’s higer so I lowerd it manually in the BIOS so now its in range..powersupply seems to provide alitte to high vcore…MY main problem is it locking up..in WIN98se I have all updated everything but it hardlocks..it dont matter what Im doing it just does it…and the hardlight is usually on when it does…in win2k say Im playing unreal and mp3s it will lockup for a short period of time with the harddrivelight constant and then resume but I have had it to where it doesnt resume operation I cant ever turn the numlock light off and I feel my chip runs to hot..like up to 120 sumthing degrees I have heatsink and compoud and dual fans..any suggestions on how hot it should run and what u think the problem is…thx
