(things to note before reading. I have latest BIOS Chip N+ as well as the 02 flash)
OK, I built myself a new system consisting of an Athlon XP 1600, an EpOX EP-8KHA+, and 768 PC 2100 RAM. Now, I went to crucial to get it, plugged my motherboard into it and got out
CT3272Z265 - 256 MB PC 2100 Registered ECC RAM
Now I get it up and running (advanced server), and start installing things and get all kinds of spontaneous reboots, and huge blue screen memory dumps. (memory dumps I have NEVER seen running 2000 server)...I think it's a fubared install and reformat and try again. I do this 5 times to no avail. So I put on Win2k Pro to see how far I get and I get alot further until I start running the virus scanner, then all kinds of hell breaks loose. Memory page faults, etc.
I was reading up on everyone's trouble on these forums about the KHA+ boards, but I'm not overclocking or anything. So I look at the tech sites and at Epox, I find it saying "ECC memory is NOT to be used on this board"...I go back to crucial and sure enough, it's no longer listed as a compatible chip.
My question is, COULD the ECC memory be the root of all my evil? And now of course, I'm without a puter until I get it replaced...damnit. Thanks all!
Also, something of note, using a Hardware Monitor for the motherboard, I see the following voltages...
12V - 12.59
5V - 5.03
Core - 1.82
I/O - 1.54
It's the I/O voltage that concerns me...it seems low. Also, the CPU temp hovers around 50 C. Is that about right? Seemed kinda high to me but who knows, it's a fast chip. And there's a good CPU fan and good ventilation in the case (GlobalWin WBK38 with 4 80mm case fans). Any help you could shoot me I would appreciate it!
