kind of at a loss trying to figure out what is wrong with this mainboard. Some background. I bought a PC for a guy at work using this mainboard. I had little to no prob with it, drivers and everything installed fine, great audio and video for an MX. Well after he got it he started to complain of random reboots. Well before I was told about it becoming a prob I had built me a new PC based off this same mainboard. In win2k it was having sever driver prob for the video. In XP it instlled fine. In both OSs I got the same random reboots. Though I do not get these problems in Linux, tried 2 distros just for arguements sake, RH9 and Slackware.
My problem is trying to figure out what is up with this board, if it is the board. I today gave it the new bios, all the newest drivers off the abit site. I have no devices with the yellow or red tag on them.
This PC Specs:
2700+xp
120gb
80gb hdd
sony 16x dvd drive
1280mb pc2700 micron ram
dlink 530TX+ NIC (for linux)
Other PC spec with same prob:
2100+xp
80gb hdd
512mb pc 2100 micron ram
sony 16x dvd
BTC 48x CDRW
I hope this is enough information to help anyone help me.
edit--
forgot 1 other thing. When ever I turn on this PC or reboot it I get a beep, and not the usual POST beep. It comes before the video card bios is flashed on screen. That does not really bother me just courious.
