(this is long but please read if you can help) you can post here and email to t-riftwalker@home.com
I just got me a sweet a7V and duron 700 to go with that, I had a BX board with a p2400 before, and all I did was try to take my items out of that box and put it in the new one, here is the problems I encountered, hopefully someone can help.
Here are the items.
toshiba sd-m1202 dvd/cdrom
hp 9100e 4/8/32 cd-r/rw
256 MB RAM @ 133 Micron at 3rd 7.5ns cl2 cas2(2 x 128)
maxtor 27GB ata 66 7200RPM
western digitial 5400 15.5 GB (not in the box)
sound blaster 64pci
tnt2 agp 32
300W h. E power supply (AMD recommended)
front case fan, cooler master fan and heatsink on chip
enlight 7237 case.
First problem I have is that my damn cd roms wouldnt work at all at first. When I tried to daisy chain them on the primary ide which support up to ata 66, I get a windows blue screen. My toshiba works by itself, but now my hp 9100e isn't even recognized, which makes me believe its damaged, but thats crudy since I just took it out of the old box, and put it in the other. The only part I can imagine could be damaged is the pins, but I can't see how.
Second When I put my toshiba on DMA it crashes windows if it tries to read something but it is a DMA 1 I believe cd-rom, and it worked like that for a year on my bx board.
I get wicked crashes sometimes, even though my board is cool enough at < 100 F and the cpu steady at 122 F. I want to overclock, but can't afford to ruin the chip. I tried just bus increases but that didn't seem to work at all. Anyone know where I can get some simple step by step SOLID instructions to over clock this? I would add a rear fan to the case for some more cooling. The pencil method would be nice for someone like me I suppose. Again I don't want to ruin my chip. Anyone else have any problems like this with the A7V?
Another thing its kind of wierd how the ata 100 slot doesn't show up in Control panel (where my harddrive is.) Would it be better to put my hd on the primary ide (ata 66) and the cd roms on the secondary ide channel? I don't want to slow down the drive by daisy chaining to a slower drive. If I put my slower hd on another channel that shouldn't effect my faster drive like daisy chaining would, would it??
I hope someone read through this mess and can help
