Hi

I have problems that my MSI K7 Pro boots suddenly .. ( ..
Is it the RAM that´s the problem? .. Tested with 2 different 300W PS.

I had a K7T Pro for about 4 months. Initially, about once every few weeks it would not power on. Would cycle power and it would be fine. That progressed to periodic spontaneous reboots. That turned into constant reboots with only CPU, MEM, and floppy connected running a test. Swapped everything except CPU and MB. No change. Eventually would not POST ever. Just 4 red LED's. Took it back to Spartan Technologies for RMA. They tested and confirmed MB was bad and replaced it with a K7T Pro-2a at no charge. The Pro2a is an improvement over the pro. I've now been running 10 days 24/7 with great stability.

Could just be your MB going bad.

From other discussions I've seen, it appears that there is a problem sensing CPU fan speed properly. When this happens, the BIOS thinks there is no fan and shuts things down. A quick check is to connect the CPU fan to the "system fan" connector.

Also, there is a BIOS upgrade that may help.
