Hi all!!!
For the past few weeks I've been reading all the posts as I was having the same BSOD
problem on a ABIT VI7 PT800, a P4 HT 3Ghz, two sticks of 512 ram at 400 and a Nvidia
FX 5200 128 Mb... on a brand new thing
BSOD, BSOD and BSOD for not particular reason and in different periods of time...
I've tried all the suggestions found here and in other forums, set the ram from 400
to 333, 266, 133... switching banks, tried different ram sticks (even from Kingston
as they say is the best) pass thru mem tests, install a different gcard (Ati radeon
9200), updated every driver, disabled any extra hardware installed, disable antivirus,
checked the temperature (and I've got now 4 extra coolers built in the box)... everything
and in all possible combinations... nothing worked, the d... BSOD as always
Then I founded a clue... my mem stcks always gived me errors in this machine but
when I tried the same tests in other computer with this same sticks all went OK so...
it had to be the MB!!!
I went to the Abit web and found that of course there were bios updates that (oh,
surprise!!) fixed 'some' unspecified problems of compatibility between some brands
of ram and the MB so I´ve just flashed the bios... ET VOILÁ!!! everything goes just
PERFECT the computer has being running nonstop for two days with no problem at all
with any kind of aplication or high grafic game.
Hope this may work to other people just BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN FLASHING BIOS and
follow every direction they give you
