Hi all

Has anyone else experienced any problems with this M/B and no keyboard in
windows with bios revisions 1011 and above ?
I have the A7V8X-X m/b revision 1.01 I flashed the bios as soon as I got it
to the latest 1013 but when you enter windows(XP) it just locks up and you
have to use the power switch to turn it off
I have tried all the revisions going down to 1010 with the same problem
has anyone else experienced this to or is it just me ?

I take it you just grabbed a disk with WinXP installed on it
and plunked it on the new motherboard ?

Or is this a clean install ?

It makes a difference.

Sounds more like memory / psu problems than bios.

Run memtest86 for a couple of hours, you should get zero errors.
Provide more details on the rest of your components and configurations.

no problems here, I have 3 a7n8x-x's. What type of keyboard? USB? I guess
youve obviously enabled USB keyboards if so, then. Try another KB if you
havent already.
