Problem with installing hardware on new abit be6-II mobo

[Marc4]

I am attempting to upgrade my mobo and cpu, and I have run into a few problems. Everything was running smooth until I attempted to install a SB Live! card. The drivers where being installed, and it was about to detect the card, and a blue screen came up "A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:408cc044 this program will terminate" I tried to reboot, but continued to get weird errors so I formated. Then I tried to install a different sound card, some problem. then It did the same thing with my network card. I tried switching around the pieces in the pci slots, but still no go, each time formating the HD. Now when I try to load win 98 setup, I get an error when it's checking my system saying "press Y to skip a boot sector on your HD, or push esc to exit setup"

Anyone have any ideas?

My setup is:
abit be6-II running bios behrv (not sure if this is what you need)
p2-400 cpu
128 megs of pc-100 RAM (toshiba)
maxtor 10 gig HD
SB Live! value card
Voodoo 3 3000 pci card (only thing that really works)
Mitsumi unk speed cd-rom
Asantefast 10/100 network card
Windows 98
thanks in advance

Try clearing the CMOS, I have a Abit BX-6r2 and had similar problems right out of the box. It appears my mobo had a different CPU on it, maybe for testing? Good Luck.

still no go. Cleared the cmos, and still have the same problem.

Try flashing your bios. Abit's website states that bios version BEHNY, solves the boot failure issue when switching the CPU to another one. Good Luck.

NO NO NO To the others reply.
There is thread for this if you search for BE6-II, and its not that easy as they say here. Right now I having the same problem, bought the card yesterday and the salesman told me I need to have the soundblaster driver 1199 installed before starting up the new mobo. He also has BE6-II. But f**k it didnt work, and now he says I have to format and I did it acouple a weeks ago and don't want to do it again.Calling Creative support first thing in th emorning. Anyway check this thread because he solved it after formating. And heck I' don't want to.

don't know if your trying to use the DMA66 controller or not, but if you are i would sugest DON'T! had all kinds of problems not appering to be related to it but not using it cleared them right up.
good luck
