Help on Abit

Here it goes.
I built a PC a month or so ago
new equipment
Athlon 800
micron mem 256M
FIC-AZ11 Mobo (socketA)
ATI AIW Radeon
SBLive
old equip
3Com NIC
Generic CDRom
Generic Floppy
Quantum Fireball 15G harddrive

It worked fine except for the 3D accelerator, everytime I would run a 3D game it would crash back to the desktop. I tried a different Video card (3D Prophet) no difference, I removed the sound card no luck. So I replace the mobo with an Abit KT7 (nonRAID)upgrade the bios to kt7_wt. Fdisk, format, install ME, and BOOM, I can not install without getting a trust error in dajava.cab, I try 98SE and get an OE 0028 error on install.

After the install finally completes, I can not load any drivers that bring you to a splash screen for the product, I get a blue screen OE error 0028: xxxxxxxx. I bought a new WD Hard drive and still the same problem. I also get these errors randomly while in windows explorer, and when in IE, especially when running a web based search. Any ideas? Also when doing a fresh install on the new drive it tells me that ScanDisk will not work due to disk compression, this is on a fresh drive that has been JUST formated with an ME boot disk, is this something in the Bios?

Thanks
 
wow, new harddrive, video card, and a new mobo.. and still havent fixed yet... you should've fuond the problem before u started buying that has to be getting expensive... unfortunately i dont know what your problem is..
 
sorry to recommend this but...i would suggest you try another PSU. just in case, cause its happened to me where my PSU was fecked and i kept getting blue screens and phantom reboots. also try to disable all video bios caching and bios caching in general. MS always suggests this in win2k when you have blue screens.
might help, good luck.

thats the problem!!!! AMD needs a 300 PSU. some can run at 250 but i wouldnt recommend it and niether does amd. try a better PSU and youll probably fix many of your problems.

What a mess. Sounds a lot like a cpu problem. Given these AMD products are so sensitive to "approved" power supplies maybe you can try a new one.
 
I hate to say this, because I had the Same problem... Except, I know my equipment is good... I tried it in my previous computer... I've even rebuilt that system, ran flawlessly, and broke it down again to try and get the Abit KT133 board up... Everything I did wouldn't work... many versions of 4in1 drivers, New P/S 400W ANTEC, many sticks of RAM, 3 Abit KT7's, 2 1.2G processors, 2 IBM drives... Nothing... It would allways crash out of the games... sometimes after several hours, sometimes after 15-30minutes...

I've switched to an Abit K7V133 now, and I'm testing it... and it looks very hopeful... I've tested for 10 hours now running UT in a continuous game...

Looks good and promising... but I'm so paranoid after using the K7T, that I'm taking the wait and see additude..
 
good luck , i suspect that it is your PSU, but it really could be lots of things.
i personally went with a 400w antec..pp403x i believe or something to that effect.
