Has anyone had problems with the Asus A7V

[Poritz]

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has experienced instability issues with an Asus A7V KT133 rev 1.02. I have had the board since sept of 2000. When I got it the guys at the shop told me that they has experienced problems with the board using jumperfree mode. So I just set the jumpers and that was that but now I just set everything to jumperfree. This was an attempt to get my PC133 ram to run at 133 not 100. I had, had to keep it there to make the thing run stable. I was just curious. So good so far.

I had one and it was quite stable (still in use with a friend of mine). Can you give us your system specs in specific, including brand of the RAM and the brand/model of the power supply?

mechBgon, thanks for the response. I have the following:

700 Mhz Athlon
256 MB PC133 Generic RAM Which now apears to be running stable
300 Watt PSU
20 GB Maxtor 7200 ATA 100
16x Acer DVD
12x4x32 Iomega Burner
32 MB ATi Rage Fury Pro
Sound Blaster Live! MP3+
10/100 Kingston NIC
56Kb/s Conexant Modem

The main thing I could think of would be the generic RAM. Back then we were seeing Athlon systems being picky about RAM sometimes. If you needed an excuse to buy some Crucial, Samsung, Corsair or even Kingston, and hand off the generic RAM to someone else, there you go.

i ran mine for a year and a half in jumperfree mode (using crucial CL2 pc133 ram) with no problems.

i had one a long time ago as my main pc... if i remember right the "jumper free" mode had some problems in early bios revisions (especially setting the vcore in bios) but they were supposedly fixed in newer bios revisions
