cmos or board or voltage or ?????

[jchapa]

i just put together k7 master-s(ms-6341) version 1.1, 1.33 and crucial ram, g2pro-t64d, sb x-gamer,deskstar 7200, pioneer dvd, tdk rewrite - loaded one at a time with out a hitch. untill i got to the ethernet card it locked up my computer as soon as i booted. I talked with a tech at telocity and he had me take out the sound card and put in the ethernet card my it self (they can conflict with each other) still no go. by the way the ether card works fine on my other machine.. also my new machine shows i am running at a slow 1000mhz. the cmos is set to default because if i change them that locks it up as well. I know, one thing at a time....... oh yea win 2000 pro :disgust:

Let me guess, it's a Netgear FA311 ethernet card? There is a known incompatibility with it (or any other card with the same chip on it) and (I can't remember which) either the AMD 761 Northbridge or the VIA 686B Southbridge; that mobo has both of those. For the sake of $10, go get another ethernet card.
