Ok, I'm sure no one will have any answers for these problems but here goes....

First of all what's the difference between an Abit KA7 and an Abit KA7-100 mobo (i have a KA7)?

Also the cpu temperature in PC health is always at 0 celcius which I know is not right....

I've been having some random freezes on about every 10 boot ups.

There are 2 duplicate USB root hub drivers in my device manager and 2 duplicate via pci to usb drivers as well. And no matter how many times I remove all of them they all come back in pairs.

Lastly, the most annoying problem, in directx games I have this problem that just started recently when I reinstalled windows where I get random chokes and static pops. This doesn't happen in alot of directx apps like 3DMark 2k for example but it does in some games like vampire tm:r....

I have had one victory over my bug problems though that may help someone else who reads this. I enabled 15m-16m memory hole and it got rid of a lot of sound freezes and cpu pausing that occured very often.

Here's the specs:
Athlon 700
Abit KA7 MOBO
128mb corsair ram clocked to 100mhz
sblive
guillemot geforce 256
56k pci usr v.90 non-winmodem
3com 10/100 nic
hollywood plus decoder card
USB mouse
western digital ide hdd
6x dvd
iomega zip-100
I have directx v7.0a
Newest detonator drivers from nvidia
via 4 in 1 drivers for agp in turbo mode and the inf files (4.24 I belive)
flashed bios
newest version of liveware (3.0)
newest decoder drivers

hope i didn't forget anything

1. KA7-100 supports ata-100 hard drives.
2. It says 0 celsius becuase you don't have a temp monitor cable hooked up.
3. Could be heat related. Check your cpu. Also try power supply.
3. I think it install one for each usb port.
4. no clue
