I know someone else who is having a problem with a Soyo KT333 Dragon Lite. It is locking up after running a while on the 133fsb. He's running an XP2000+. At 100 mHz fsb, the system runs fine. He believes that it may be a heat problem. When running at 133 fsb it takes awhile before it locks up. He used a retail AMD XP 2000+ with the hsf & thermal tape that came with cpu. I doubt this is the problem, but it may still be a thermal problem. He has checked memory and is running auto mode for memory. Also reflashed BIOS with latest version. Still locking at 133 fsb after running a while.

I know someone with your problem. In short, we wasted 2 weeks trying to isolate the problem, then found out a lot of people were having the same problem but could not come out with a reliable solution.

In the amdmb.com forum, do a search for keyword "lite" in the Soyo Motherboard forum. You'll see you're not alone with this problem.

A lot of people suggested that the board

1) Is picky about RAM
2) Is picky about PSU
3) Have a Faulty CPU in it

My friend RMA'd it and bought a new MSI. Couldn't be happier :)
