I've read most of the posts about the problems with these 2 so I am pretty sure my situation is unique (at least to this board). I just build this new computer ground up..everything is new. So far I've only installed the board, duron 600 pencil unlocked (pretest to 1 gig), ATI Radeon, and the 256 PC133 ram. All of this is in a brand new Antec sx830 case. With the PP-303x AMD approved PS. Ok, my question is that at first, computer was fine...basically I didnt install any peripherals on purpose just to see if anything was wrong with the core components. I slowly upt the speed from 600 to 1000 which it posted without any problems (increase final voltage to 1.800) I let it run overnite and when I woke up it was still fine ( I left it in the bios screen where the temperature is..and it was chugging along at 45 celsius all nite. (FOP32-1 is the HS i got with gen silicone paste) Anyhow, in the morning before i left for work i powered it down. Got home later turned it on..but the screen had purple text instead of the normal blue and white it used to have. And when I go into the bios, I cant see any of the temperatures. I can go to the PC Health area, but its blank like an empty page. When I try to set it back to the safe defaults...this is where it starts to act like the other people...it sometimes takes like 3 or 4 boots before it powers up. but it always has the purple tint...no temp readings now. Has anyone had a similar experience on this? I am about outta ideas...I cleaned CPU redid lines...boots fine currently..to 1000 just dont know why the tint is screwed up and the PC Health bios is gone. Makes me weary of the future when I install the rest of the components I will transfer from my old comp.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
