Gigabyte GA-7VT600-P

[Flinx]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing some instability issues with this board Gigabyte GA-7VT600-P? I have had Folding@Home crash 3 times on this machine after running for a couple days (other machines configured differently run fine 24/7).

It has a Barton 2500 not Over Clocked, good Corsair Memory, adequate power supply, and an older 64MB grapchis card. Heat, voltages.. all look ok.

Could even be Windows SP2!!!
I'll try a better PSU or upping the memory voltage a tad.

SP2 is fine..very fine in my setup, so I would guess over the PSU...

Two most common problems with via chipsets are 1- not compatable with soundblaster sound (except maybe integrated, depending on driver) 2- Most nic cards work best in the second from bottom pci slot. The 3rd most common problem is that the drivers you are using need to be updated.( I dont care if you just downloaded them, the next ones will fix the problem, they promise)

It can be...VIA has good drivers set ...pffffffffffffff

Gentlemen,

Thank you for your input. I will have a chance to try these suggestions over the holidays and continue to stress the outfit.

The Via KT600 also has a lot of memory issues. Check Gigabytes website for memory compatibility. Bios update might increase compatibility.
