can't install win2k on ecs k7s5a but win98 works...

[BredStik]

When I try to install win2k with this board, it installs, but the first boot that's going to load windows for real, I get a blue screen flash and a reboot, and it does that in a loop... The I tried win98 and it works flawlessly... What could be the problem??? (When I did that, there was only vid card, memory and cpu on the board)

Please help me! I don't want to be stuck with 98 for a long time!! ;-)

same with me, same with me...

you know what I did.. cut down the freq. to 100/100 Mh .. And win2K installed like a charm..
Then I said.. well something is surely wrong.. as Athlon 1800+ running at 1150Mhz... suxxxxxxx...

Then I did another experiment.. I disabled ACPI.. disabled Audio... LAN, Modem, USb etc...
and reinstalled ... and guess what.. It went ahead it installed .. awesome..

So I enabled .. Audio, LAN and USB and it has working like a real babe since then...
though ACPI remains disabled .. .. I reallly wanted to have that enabled.. But .. then everything can't be perfect in the ECS world...
giving good benchmarks too.. running pretty stable.
