my a7c133 crisis is over

[pebbles]

what a nightmare. 2 a7v133 (both rev 1.5) one processor (overheated) and never got an operating system installed with success. All basics people. Had an a7v rev 1.2 before (no problems) so am quite familiar with setup. But the a7v133 is very particular about a lot of things . I was using Infeneon memory, 3 different video cards. win 98 SE, Win ME, and Win 2000. Almost had the win 98 working and then "POOF". My resolve :::: took it back and bought a MSI K7T Turbo. Complete install less than an hour . NOT ONE BLUE SCREEN and I can't make it crash. Before all the posts I tried everything flat bios. only vid card, install from via IDE and Promises IDE. The a7v133 and me weren't meant to be. Yes I know there is a lot of success out there but when I was at the old computer shop yesterday I was listening to a bunch talking about their a7v133's. I really had to stop to think about how much they use their computers for. I guesss it really can become a compulsive hobby. Me I am now a happy camper. Thanks MSI for your undaunting stability and attention to detail on build quality. Some of us need these things running all the time so we can do some work

They do I have a tech friend that loves his MSI with a ultra 160 card, Not as fast as the others but he says it is stable, I have a friend that works at one of the top computer shops so I asked him since he builds a lot of computers, What main board do you get back the most and what is the one you don't for the t-bird, He said the Epox is the one that comes back the most and Asus A7V133 the less, Out of about 30 computers a week, That was a little bit of a surpise

LOL, I went the other way from K7T turbo-R to an A7V133, now I am much happier.
Just goes to show ya, to each his own
My asus is rev 1.05
