KT7 RAID

nhbilly · 08-23-2001, 12:50 AM

Okay I have a question regarding the CPU.
What is the hight AMD proccesor you can put on this board?

And one more thing has anyone flashed the BIOS with the newest release bios?
And did you have problem flashing? Cause the instruction I see seem complicated.

Thanks,

Hi Billy,

If you need help with BIOS flashing, come take a look here http://www.messageking.com/ShowTopic...bios&Relation=

Besides BIOS flashing, you can also get other information regarding your mobo. Just search it.

Hope you'll find your answer there.

Cheers mate.

The highest available with the newest BIOS. That would be 1.4Ghz (before O/C of course.

)

check your memory hole, if its enabled, try disabling it, or visaversa

nhbilly · 08-23-2001, 02:09 PM

Thanks overdrive.......

I haven't done that yet but I have yank all my memory out.
I have to stick of 256 Infineon and a generic 128.
I only have one 256 in and I also yank my SB Live card : (
Hope this work
Disabling the memory hole ....hmmmmm

OverDrive · 08-23-2001, 02:12 PM

The memory hole is desinated memory for certian part IRQ's and SBLive is natorious for messing with it, my friend had the exact same problem, but I can't remember is enabled or disabled...

nhbilly · 08-23-2001, 02:17 PM

Damn doesn't work.

Any other suggestion?

OverDrive · 08-23-2001, 02:17 PM

1. Good MB choice, great for overclocking
2. You may also want to try Disableing your RAID to start with
3. And make sure your Ram timing is not too high, turbo can get a little goofy, try normal for trouble shooting

are you running 100 or 133 fsb?

Speedfreak · 08-23-2001, 02:18 PM

Abit boards have been notorious for memory problems. Problems have occured if you are mixing differend kinds of ram, or there are even problems on some if you fill up all the slots, even it if is all the same kind of memory. I am currently using a KT7a-RAID as my main system. I haven't noticed any problems because I am using 2x256MB Crucial sticks. Same brand and only 2 of 3 slots taken. I don't know if it is just not a problem anymore or ir I am just not having a problem.

I HAVE had problems in the past, though. I also own a Abit BP6 and an Abit BH6. Other than that, Abit boards rock. I have had no other problems. When I was using the BP6 I was using different kinds of memory. I just switched with my friend so I had 2 of the same and the problem was solved.

nhbilly · 08-23-2001, 02:20 PM

I never had any trouble with SB Live before.
It must be the BIOS..... the flash went fine.
This really suck.

The memory hole was disable so I enable it. No go
I have almost everything disable since I have SCSI....no USB
and IDE.

WIERD I always had my memory bank filled.
Damn BIOS.

I guess i can swith btw the memory bank then.

damn

OverDrive · 08-23-2001, 02:24 PM

grrr... double check the clock speed, make sure the multipliers are right... I had a 1.2 post at 1.5 straight out of the box b4 even entering the bios... the ram checked out ok? could it be your SCSI controller?

nhbilly · 08-23-2001, 02:29 PM

The SCSI card work because it is picking up the harddrive and CD-RW

Now I am curious why I can't boot using the floppy so that I can flash it back.

Do you AIM overdrive?

OverDrive · 08-23-2001, 02:34 PM

Sorry, Only MSN IM, make sure in your bios you have your seek for boot floppy on, and have floppy as 1st boot device.
If you have MSN IM I'll hook up with ya.

nhbilly · 08-23-2001, 02:40 PM

That is the settings I have to look for the Floppy.

I now have messenger.....my SN is nhbilly@hotmail.com

And I have yanked my D-Link NIC out - no go

Thanks.

nhbilly · 08-24-2001, 11:31 AM

My computer is back up now.
I guess I won't flash my motherboard again ; )

Thanks all.

OverDrive · 08-24-2001, 04:54 PM

from what you where tellin me, it sounds like you should flash any hardware anymore with your luck

maybe they will make a billy proof flasher program. lol

nhbilly · 08-26-2001, 11:23 PM

Abit and there damn batch files....I think Sux ; ) Not my flashing skills........the ladies haven't complained ; ) ha

OverDrive · 08-26-2001, 11:31 PM
