I recently purchased an Abit Kt7a-raid board along with an amd tbird 900mhz socket-a chip. Well they were working pretty good, a little buggy (i think it was my win2k install). Then one day, during bootup it would post, do cpu speed/type, ram count, then proceed to scan and detect my ide devices, then RIGHT at the end of the 4th ide device it would just lock up, freeze, STOP, but i still had keyboard control, i could do the 3 finger salute just fine, etc etc. Anyway, I returned the board back to where i purchased it, they were able to recreate the same problem, so they shipped me a new board (and yes it is new, the capacitors are a different color from the board i returned) Anyway, I'm still having the same problem on this new board. I have done all that I konw to do, checked ram sticks, installed 1 ide device at a time, did just the bare bones (video,floppy, main hd), I even tried goign without a hard drive, it still froze up. I also checked my bios settings, i disabled raid support (wasn't using them yet), checked my voltage, which I'm pretty sure should be 1.75 for the 900mhz tbird, I have done all that I konw to do, I refuse to believe that the same problem can show up twice in a row. Any suggestions on how to combat/fix the situation, please enlighten me, I just wanna use my new kickin system. Thanks much!
