Fixed it! I tried searching a bit more and found a solution. http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=1006878&FTVAR_MSGDBTABLE= Had to change it slightly as that is for Nforce2. Strange how I had to do that now, i've built systems with this motherboard before and never had...

I've downloaded and installed the latest drivers from nvidia.com (Detonator FX! ) I can now get 1280x768 which i couldn't with the previous drivers, but still not 1152 or 1280x960! :confused:

Thanks for your reply I just tried doing as you said, but when set the a 955DF those resolutions are still not available for selection.

Hi I've just built a new system using a A7N266-VM, it all works great apart from the inability to select the 1152x864, 1280x960 resolutions in windows. I'm using the onboard graphics with the lastest Nforce drivers (2.03) and the 41.13 display drivers. Spec: AthlonXP 2000+ Asus A7N266-VM...

There is no blue screen at all... the computer either completely freezes in the middle of what it's doing, or just starts rebooting. No errors messages or anything. I can't try the IDE cable right now because i don't have a spare 80pin one at the moment, but i'll try swapping the memory. I...

No problems reported in the Event Viewer. I've already tested the HDD with the IBM drive fitness test and it is fine. (advanced test run repeatedly). I think the hard disk is probably ok as it works fine in Windows98.

Thanks for your reply! I am using the Win2k driver for the modem. I've just taken the modem and network card out of the computer (so no PCI cards in now), and it still has the problem. Also, i've just disconnected the two CD drives, so the HDD is the only IDE device installed, but it hasn't...

Hi When i do anything that involves high hard disk activity for over about 2 mins the computer either completely freezes, or reboots (Automatic restart is disabled). It happens with defrag after about 2 mins, or a few mins into copying a large file (from the network AND from partition to...

nealh - Tried that, made it worse. kjhoskin - I've e-mailed Crucial about it. Where did you get the Samsung DDR? Glad it's fixed! :D

I'm not overclocking either. I've just tried the ram in a different slot and it made no difference. Also, I took everything out of the system, leaving the memory, floppy, and an old 1Mb PCI graphics card and that made no difference either. So that rules out the PSU and any cards causing the...

Let me know if the Samsung memory fixes the problem!

But both the sticks of Crucial PC2100 I tried do not give errors in another mobo (Abit KG7). So is it the KR7a board that is faulty, or is the RAM not good enough?

kjhoskin - I also got the PFN_LIST_CORRUPT for the first time this morning. Are the errors you get with memtest only on Test 5 and/or Test 8? What's the rest of your system? (pci cards, graphics card, power supply?) GiGoLo - I've tried the via 4in1 drivers that WinXP loads, and also the...

Set fail-safe defaults and it made no difference to memtest. Can't check the Windows prob until comp has been off a while as it only happens from cold boot. I've already tried different memory utils, (burn-in test, sandra benchmark, and a couple of others) and they give no errors, but they...
