EddiE314 0 Posted March 21, 2001 man, off the top of my head, i dunno, it could be anything, try removing all non-essential hardware (i.e. Sound Card, Modem, etc.) and continuing the install. Try running setup.exe with different switches (type: "setup /?" for a list) for example, i always run 9x setups with the switch "/is" just because i hate having it scan a disc that i already know is perfectly fine. Experiment a bit, see if it helps. [This message has been edited by EddiE314 (edited 21 March 2001).] Share this post Link to post
three 0 Posted March 22, 2001 well, i was suspicious of the mobo since that and the cpu was the only old piece of hardware while everything was brand new...also had already noticed that a part of the mobo appeared to be burnt well, went out and bought a soyo board and it's running smoothly now...

Brian Frank 0 Posted March 22, 2001 Id consider burnt boards a bad thing. Just out of curiosity, what was the board maker and the chipset? Share this post Link to post
three 0 Posted March 22, 2001 It was a Gigabyte GA-5AX rev.4 based on ALi chipset. I replaced it with a Soyo SY-5EH5+ baby AT. Share this post Link to post
Vampyr 0 Posted March 22, 2001 Check two things... mobo and possibly even ram. Those poopy AMD k6 have been known to cause problems. Share this post Link to post
Brian Frank 0 Posted March 22, 2001 Oh,boy. That board is the fourth one Ive heard of with problems, same board. This is the third time Ive seen that board here and its not good. My friend had one, couldnt use any new video cards on it cause of some AGP voltage issue. I hope Gigabyte doesnt make all their mobos like that. Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted March 24, 2001 "I hope Gigabyte doesnt make all their mobos like that." They do. Well the home user mobo's anyway. Share this post Link to post
SnapperOne 0 Posted April 20, 2001 Better yet.........sounds like Gigabyte shouldn't make mobo's! Share this post Link to post
