The guys on that thread seem to be all over that MB problem..

"nxn" makes his announcement and leaves..

Hi everyone.... Thank you for all the great posts here first of all.

Here is something to help you even further. IT is the KM400 chipset that is the problem. It took until now for me to see the connection but I have been having problems with the FIC AM39 motherboards used in some computers here. The only thing that they really have in common with the SK43 motherboards is the chipset. I also figured out that the systems could be stable at 133 FSB but that is a pain. Every other comonent makes no difference. Since I have a dozen of these to test with I know this to be true.

Seeing all the COMMON troubles right down to the errors and resolution with the SK43 and the AM39 I can definitly say that I will not buy another system based on any VIA chipset for AMD K7 processors. All my SiS and nVidia systems are fine.

That is all

So, the answer is a BIOS change in your case. Change the FSB to 133 Mhz and all should be well.

hmmmmmm, my older MB has a Via chipset in too. I'll have to check what sort, just for future ref, I'm intending to be buying two new PC's sometime for my kids and networking the lot. This has been a most educational problem to look at. I am a AMD processor die hard btw -g-

Careful with that BIOS change, and I hope it works for you.
