Praedor, You might try taking out the sound card, and seeing if you can resolve the problems. I'm still thinking the power supply is a possible culprit. Which bios have you flashed to? Robert On Wednesday 11 June 2003 17:29, James Sparenberg wrote: On Wed, 2003-06-11 at 00:15, Praedor

If you only had a generic 250w PS, I'll bet that's it. I've had post problems on two boxes, on several boards, and that was the problem. It's preety common when you try to upgrade a board AND cpu with an older box. But if you are still having problems with a 350w, you should check the actual

Praedor, Is the bios set to auto detect? Another thought is you might have a weaker power supply than is needed- I ran into that a few times with new cpus. I don't think the kernel would cause your problem- it has to be a hardware configuration/bios setting. What bios did you say you flashed

Praedor, The kt3 ultra with via kt333 chipset should do 133Mhz FSB (266) with no problem. What is your cpu voltage set at? Also, like I mentioned, your power supply might be marginal- especially on the 3v and 5v lines. John's point on another older card causing this is valid too, but then your

Maybe: Your kernel is using modules for the 'old' mobo and cpu. While booting, auto-hardware-detect changes the settings for another mobo, but it's not installed so the modules are not found. If that's more or less right, you can try to recompile your kernel ? Steven (just a wild guess... But I

Praedor, H.. I thought with a bios upgrade you could run faster cpus on the kt333 Ultra. The 5.7 bios for the Ultra 2, which I have one of supposedly supports XP 3000+. Yours is just the plain Ultra, correct? If so, I just looked at this page, and looks like you are in good shape for much
