Recently i just brought AMD950 on Soyo SY-K7VIA (KX133) from TigerDirect.com and now i am waiting for my Antec sx1030 with 300w power supply which is in back order now. Well, my sy-k7via has been arrived few days ago, so i took this board to run a test on my Enlight 7237 with 250w power supply.
When the power turned on and the system won't boot and started "b.. b....b", so i am pretty sure
one of the device fail to operate, either the motherbord, CPU, or the power supply.(the elsa Gladiac 32MB ddr is working fine on my celeron system).

so my question is anyone of you sucessfully run the KX133 or KT133 on Enlight 7237 w 250w power supply..? or any similar configurations.

I need some proofs that the KX133 and KT133 won't run on 250w so that i can prove my my cpu and motherboard are working only with 300w power supply.


Thans in advanced

I know 250w PS's can be really problematic with athlons... I had a pretty unstable system with my 250... all problems seem to have been resolved once i swapped it out for an Antec 300W PS.

I suggest you wait a bit for the 300W PS... i'm sure that will solve all your problems.

I would also recommend 300w PSU (AMD approved)btw I`m using a 300w PSU AMD approved for my 900T-bird & MSI K7T PRO board.

I just double check the PS, it is only 235w and not the original enlight 7237 250w PS. So i run the test agaion on my own celeron system with enlight 250w PS, and it works perfectly. Thanx for the suggestion ..! :)
