I recently bought an Abit k7t Raid and a duron 700.
And am wondering if someone has had the same issues, and to ask whether it's related to the incompatible PS's issues with the athlons.


The issue is, that with two different 250Watt 2.01 ATX power supplys,
the system powers up fine, but after 10-25 seconds( it varies), it just dies, the power is on, but the screen oes blank. It is time dependant, not dependant to any action i do, ie, if i wait on the bio setup, it hangs there also.


i swapped memory, and most all. coudl this be a power issue?
if so, what power supplys are compatible, since i really want to use this case ( palo alto 810 :) )

thx in advance

PS: i meant i tried two power supplys, not a dual PS system :)

did you overclock or anything? I have a 235W PS on a fully loaded(2 HD, CDROM+Burner)Duron600@900MHz and I don't have any problems at all. sometime I have the same like you when I need to shut off my comp and turn it back on. It would go blank. Then found out that it the penciling is wearing off and need to redo it.
