Wanna, Re: Minor stability problems & smoked MOBOS. Anand wrote a review of the Epox 8KHA+, the board in question, and said this: We had two complaints with the 8KHA+. The first was that for whatever reason, Windows 2000 would not get passed the non-GUI portion of its install with a GeForce3 Ti 500 installed. We hypothesized that this could be a problem of delivering sufficient power to the AGP slot for the higher clocked Ti 500 however once Windows 2000 was properly installed, the Ti 500 worked just fine. We tried multiple cards to no avail. The system would simply hang after the Starting Windows 2000 text prompt appeared after the first reboot in the installation process. The install worked perfectly fine with all other cards including the GeForce3, GeForce3 Ti 200 and the ATI Radeon 8500. ============== I'd call this a minor problem -- to be put on the 'fix list' for the next revision. Not at all the same as plugging a GeForce3 into your MB and blowing the MB and perhaps also the videocard Message 16574738 -- I didn't see you posting much about that 'instability' Or am I missing something and being unfair in my comparison? tgptndr
