I just built a thunderbird 1000 comp with a soyo board K7VTA-B and have been having some disturbing problems. The biggest problem is that one of my favorite games, diablo 2, freezes after about 30 minutes of play. I am also getting a lot of "illegal operation" messages.
When I loaded the 4 in 1 drivers i would get a message after rebooting asking for the "AGP VxD disk", which I don't know what that is, but then it say's the file viagart.cat cannot be found and I eventually have to skip the file. Also, if I try to enable the dma for my cd rom, the cd rom stops working and I can't access anything from the cd rom until I un-check the dma. The board also had onboard sound which I could not seem to get working properly. The driver's were supposed to be the 97 codec that came on the disk with the board, but when I loaded them the microsoft sound that plays at windows start was all scratchy, which I know wasnt right. If I tried to let windows detect the drivers it couldnt find any. Finally I just installed my own sound card. I tried downloading the 4 in 1 drivers but I had the same problem's. Also, the game diablo 2 played fine in my previous computer with the same graphics card and cd rom, and I have tried un-installing and re-installing it.
Basically my question is this: What's the general opinion of Soyo board's out there? Am I doing something wrong or should I take the board back and if so, what are some good boards to try getting?
Thanks.
