Abit KG7 Booting problems, HELP!!

[Guest]

I just got new components for my new system yesterday, a ABIT KG7 Motherboard w/ a AMD 1.4Ghz CPU. Everything boots fine until part way into the Windows 2000 boot sequence when it blue screens, and tells me that the file pfc.sys has failed (or something of the like). I searched on the net to find help, and some other guy had the same problem and he said it was his video card, so I switched video cards from my Matrox G400 to my Riva TNT2, and got the same thing. please help, cause it sucks to have a new machine that doesnt work. thanks

I was building 2 systems with the KG7-Raid. The first went seamlessly, then the second gave me all kinds of problems. Luckily since I was doing 2 systems, I could mix and match components (identical in both) and proved to myself that the MoBo was the problem. (I believe it was the NorthBridge). Anyway, I took it back and exchanged it and the second went in flawlessly.

As a side note the faulty board functioned fine with SoftMenu set at 1400/100. it was when I went to 1400/133 (which is the CPU I was using) that the problem arose.

I know ABit was racing to get DDR out and chose the AMD761 too speed development time... I suspect this new chip is suffering from manufacturing processes that are not under control yet.

Try the 1400/100 setting in Bios. If it works, I recommend exchanging the board.

(Long Live Local Retail!)

I had same problem except it's TB 1000C (7.5*133). It was unstable to run at 133MHz FSB until I found out I forgot to change CPU rate (CPU😀RAM😛CI) from 3/3/1 to 4/4/1, so I actually was running my AGP card and PCI at 89 and 44.3MHz respectively!

Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

I think ABIT wants just our money!!!

The same problem in lots of forums:

ABIT KG7/-raid/-lite (mostly raid)

at windows 2000 or XP Pro setup the blue screen appears and says that there was a page fault or irq not less or equal or x device not recognized or *.sys file caused an error
and thousands of other messages.
Great advertisments for a [-peep-] mobo.

other write: update bios and it will be fine (or drivers).

already done!! and it doesn!t solve the error [-peep-] (it only recognizes my Athlon XP 1600+)

only one way to solve the [-peep-] i know (which works):

133 Mhz FSB to 100 MHZ

please send me a guide how to solve this problem.
