Win2k hates AMD?

:frown: I tried to load Win2k on a Soyo Motherboard with an AMD 400 processor. I did this on 8 different machines. Upon booting, the system continually reboots never actually starting. Soyo and Microsoft did NOT acknowledge the problem. Yesterday, I tried to load Win2k on an Abit ka7 motherboard with an AMD slot A 700Mhz processor. This time, Win2k would not start the first time. It just shuts down. Any ideas?
 
Don't know about your problem, but I've got 3 close friends running 2k on AMD (2 on Athlons and 1 on a K6-2), and it works fine for them. I'm about to get an AMD system myself.
 
Win2k with an Athlon 1Ghz with no problems. Maybe its not Win2k, maybe its the ram, hard drive, cpu, memory, etc. Lots of possibilities as to why Win2k may not load, can you share some of the things you tried?

On the Soyo motherboards, we tried anything you can think of. we changed out the motherboards with some (cant remember which model) Pentium boards and Win2k loaded without problems. On the Abit ka7 board, I updated the flash bios. Thats about all I could do. The files copied to the harddrive, checked the hardware and rebooted. the initial startup screen comes up and the status bar goes about 1/20 the distance and the power shuts down. I disabled PowerManagment in the bios.

Umm...Big deal with AMD Procs is needing strong enough Power Supplies, do you have AMD approved Power Supplies??? I know tons of problems that occur if your power supply is not powerfull enough, esp. in windows!!!
