K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 barton 3000 support?

I'm just about to buy a new system with the K7N2G-ILSR, and i'd like to know if it supports the barton 3000.
The specs of the new computer are as follows:
2x samsung 512DDR 2700 Ram
Sapphire Radeon 9800pro
Barton xp3000
Noise Control Copper heaven HS
2x Maxtor 80GB 7200/8096KB Plus 9 - 8MB Cache
NC Enermax 430W Low Noise
NC BigTower Black/Silver w/magic fleece
Plextor PX-W4824TA, 48/24/48 IDE,4mb
Asus DVDx16 / CDx48, E616, IDE100
WinXP home
Any suggestions to changes to the above are appreciatet.
Thanks

According to MSI's CPU support page the K7N2G-ILSR does officially support the XP3000+ Barton with 333Mhz FSB but not 400Mhz FSB. If 400Mhz FSB support is important to you you may want to consider as an alternative the K7N2 Delta-ILSR which should be available shortly (end of the month?). Details here of CPU support:-

K7N2 Delta-ILSR

K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 Restart Problems!

K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 Restart Problems!
Has anybody else had a problem like this . . .
Ive got this problem with two machines now!!!!
Say for example you boot your machine and go into the bios to change whatever. Then save and exit. It should reboot and carry on to go into windows (or whatever). BUT . . . both of my machines restart and then just sit there and give a long beep which then repeats.
If I turn the machine off completely then back on it starts up ok with any changes to the bios kept from last time.
Can anybody help?!?!??! ;(
I have updated to the latest bios (which is 7.2)

I now have the MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR (601-6570-030).;
On the box:- NVIDIA nForce 2 Ultra 400 Chipset Based.
K7,nFORCE2 Ultra400/SPP,MCP2-T,FSB400,D-Bracket2,Round cable,2*SATA&power cables,1394 cable,S-Bracket,WinDVD4.
I have 2x256 PC3200 Corsair DDR and a XP2800 Barton, tried and tested at 240fsb(237fsb Totally stable), And I get the same thing happening to me..Also this board and the last one will NOT do the claimed 400fsb..
And dont say it's the ram because it's not, the ram and CPU are fine.... It's the Motherboard that is incompatable with the Ram & CPU
why because my Ram is Corsair(the name speaks for itself) and works in every system to date!.. The CPU is AMD also works in every system to date!
Soon as i get around 193+(fsb) it starts to do the same thing wont reboot, and does the beep thing! at 200x7 200x7.5 200x8 200x8.5 200x9 200x9.5 200x10 200x10.5 200x11 200x11.5= NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING but BEEP ......BEEP.......BEEP.
I also bought a brand new Antec TRUEPower550Watt with front voltage control (£100+) and that still does,nt do it
this is my second board, and im totaly fed up with there crap board. I spent good money for this TOP Class Ram and dont expect to be told the Rams wrong when it works in every other system i have had my hands on!!!!!!!
MY advice is send it back and get an other and if thats no use send it back again and get a refund and buy an ABIT NF7-S.. with exactly the same components i get a fsb of anything(100) upto 240fsb abit..
SIG is old board

K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 fsb cpu can't change specs

How do I change fsb and get cpu better performance.
The jumpers J10 set 133mhz
J11 " Short
My cpu running at 1.25mhz not 1.667mhz
Bios shows FSB@100
If I change CPU to 1.667 and fsb to 133 system hangs on windows desktop

then you got the cooler install wrong,have a weak psu,or very poor ram

Will a K7N2G-ILSR run a Barton Core AMD XP 3000+

Will a MSI K7N2G run a Barton Core AMD XP 3000+ (333Mhz FSB)??????
If so how do you set the FSB to 333Mhz??

yes and you set it to 166,333 is a ddr speed
it may mean getting a newer bios to get it recognised

K7N2G-ILSR and XP-M 3000?

I see some of these floating around on ebay. Is it a problem to use the xp-m chip? I do not want to overclock. I assume it runs in 166x13? Also, in the bios the lowest cpu core voltage is 1.55, will that be too high (or does it matter, since these are just unlocked, binned parts, but otherwise same core as standard XP3000 333?
Would I just be better off getting a conventional xp3000?
Also, I am upgrading from an XP2100. Is this a waste of $? I really don't feel like rebuilding my whole system right now (to use dragon naturallyspeaking) and was hoping a memory upgrade to 1.5 gb and maybe upping the cpu to xp3000 would be good enough for now...
Thanks!

I have been searching ebay and trying to figure a way to optimise your system and I really think that you should consider using this as your back up machine and going for a new build. To see any real speed improvement you would have to find a Barton 3200 or a Mobile Barton and get your memory up to DDR400. Between the risk of buying used ebay components and the cost of a CPU and New memory you would be better served spending the effort and money elsewhere.
Multi-tasking is always going to be better on a dual core machine.
If you cant afford a new core2duo system (probably $1,500 to $2,000) then I would suggest incrementally upgrading. I prefer MSI products but for this purpose I would recommend an ASROCK 775Dual-VSTA. The beauty of this Mobo, even though it does have limits, is that you can use most of your current system and buy new parts as you get the money. http://www.asrock.com/product/775Dual-VSTA.htm
The Motherboard and a C2D E6300 should run under $250, you would use all your other components. Then over time upgrade to PCIe and DDRII, at which point it would be time to get a really nice Motherboard say a Msi 975X PUE or a P6N.

SATA controller on K7N2G-ILSR "supports IDE"

I have a K7N2G-ILSR with the onboard Promise 20376 Serial ATA controller, which supposedly supports using the IDE3 port as a separate IDE channel to connect hard drives and CDRoms and whatnot. I have not been able to simply get the SATA controller to work with IDE. I have tried connecting a hard drive and optical drives. With the single hard drive, instead of simply booting like it should, it tells me that no array is defined and asks me to create one. Since I have data on the hard drive already and don't want to risk erasing it by "creating an array", I didn't push my luck. With optical drives, it is the same story, except that of course I can't create an array with an optical drive, even if I try (nor does the setup utility let me). I am also thinking about purchasing a SATA adaptor for the hard drive, but am afraid that it is going to ask me to create an array again (again, fear of losing data). So, how do I get the IDE3 port to work as advertised? And how would I get the SATA working in a non-RAID configuration?

They don't advertise that...
On-Board IDE
An IDE controller on the MCP2/MCP2-T chipset provides IDE
HDD/CDROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66
operation modes
Can connect up to four IDE devices
Serial ATA Interface (Optional)
Support 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133
- RAID O or 1 are supported
- RAID function works w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D
• Connect up to 2 Serial ATA devices and 1 ATA133 device
This is from the website, I don't see that they say you can use the SATA as regular IDE drives...they are part of the raid controller period...the misconception comes by thinking it's used like we use a regular IDE but you have to create an array as I said in order to use them...you can select one of the raid drives to use as a boot drive via the BIOS but you have to enable the drive in the raid setup before it's accessible thus creating a seemingly IDE device...I don't have any SATA drives here atm so wasn't able to test this part of the MB yet...and I've beat my board into submission now and have to RMA it from doing so much testing with it...if I do get another one I'll see about getting a SATA drive and see what it does when I load the drivers for the raid in a non-raid setup and post my results...I agree that they don't explain it well either but I've never thought the manuals were written the best for most boards out there since English isn't their first language...something gets lost in the interpretation unfortunately heheheh The raid doesn't support opticals at all so that's not an option here...
Hope that helps...
Cheers!! 8)

K7N2G-ILSR, Corsair TWINX512 3200, Barton 2500

Is anyone out there running this setup? I have read mixed things about the K7N2G-ILSR and Corsair TWINX512-3200LLPT 512MB DDR400 XMS3200 Dual-Channel Memory. Just wanted to make sure that the two actually work together. Thanks.
Scudd

Scudd,
Check to make sure that the RAM is nForce Approved. If you are not sure, call Corsair and ask them. Personally I only use the High Performance Level II Black Muchkin RAM and it is 100% Rock Solid Stable with nForce.
Take Care,
Richard

K7N2G-ILSR COMPATABILITY WITH NEW HARDDRIVES/video agp cards?

will the K7N2G-ILSR work with the new SATA WD 74G Raptors? Also will this board support the 300G Diamond Max or the Hitachi 400G PATA OR SATA? also would like to know if anyone used a 9800 AIW or the new X800 XT AIW on this board. would appreciate the input before I purchase. Thanks in advance.

Sorry guys I didnt explain that I am a "techie" (my fault) and yes the Pwr supply is a no brainer for the AIW alone, a cool master 500 watt is already on the list as well as plextor newest dvd dual layer, an upgrade to one gig o ram, and a barton core 333fsb 3000+ xp. I am just looking for actual "hands on" testing of the hardware on this board. I have already done the research on the specs and what should work but for someone to already have experienced it first hand and report thier findings would be a great plus. and yes I have the most current bios from MSI (2.0)

FIXED the problem but its not something i would recommend for someone who isn't very carefull about this. The problem is a "timming issue" to fix the problem Cut 2 of the 42 pin wires be VERY CAREFULL PLEASE!!!!! u cut the red one and the one wire next to it.. Make sure you DON'T short it. Plug the sucker back in and Walla it works.. now for thows who dont want to do this and have all the time in the world WD customer support will send you the wire if call them up that has the 2 leads already Cut.

Hope this helps and please if you don't feel up to it don't do it! trust me is scary just thinking i could burn up my mobo ...

K7N2G-ILSR - Undocumented Jumper - What the heck is this?

Hi all;
First time post here and, naturally, I have a problem. But then, everybody here seems to have some sort of problem or they wouldn't be here to begin with . . . RIGHT?
Anyway, I picked up this nice looking K7N2G-ILSR board over on sleazeBay a few months back and am just now getting around to trying to get it to run.
The board makes it through POST just fine and actually gets all the way through the BIOS setup (quite unlike a few other MSI boards that I've seen before) with the only hang-up being the typical initial "No FastTrak controller installed" message.
With a clean (NTFS formatted and known "good") Western Digital 160GB HDD as the master (and only) drive on IDE1 and a (known "good") Pioneer DVD drive as the master (and only) drive, on IDE2, the board then comes back with the "No OS Found" message (. . . . duuuhhhhh . . . . ) and requests an OS Set-Up disk to be inserted.
Being an agreeable sort of guy, I immediately plop in my "genuine" WIN_XP_Pro_SP2 CD and the board starts to load Windows. Windows makes it all the way through the "Checking Computer Configuration" phase and "almost" makes it through the "Loading Temporary Files" phase of the initial set-up process. BUT . . . at some point during the "Loading Temporary Files" phase, it fails. I've gone through this eight dozen times over the past week and the 'puter has never made it past this point.
Sometimes the board will just spontaneously reboot, either just shutting down or taking me back to the original BIOS screen, and sometimes it comes up with a BSOD and a stop error, which is different everytime. I've seen 0x08, 0x0A, 0x08e, "IRQL1_not_less_than_or_equal_to", and probably a few more that I didn't even bother to write down. Most times, it's just a BSOD with no "message" at all.
I've been through this entire process with four different AMD Athlon XP CPU's (two 2,500+ Bartons, a 2,600+ Tbred, and a 2,800+ Barton), with five different sticks of 512MB ram (both PC2700 and PC3200 and all from different manufacturers) installed in each of the three DIMM slots on the board.
Never having taken a "Statistics and Probabilities" course, I can't even begin to tell you how many possible combinations of these elements that I've tried, but I do know, it's been a bunch. All to no avail.
Anyway, I was about ready to throw the whole thing in the dumpster (or at least put it back up for sale on sleazeBay) when it occurred to me that "maybe you should read the manual".
I had already downloaded the manual from MSI's site, but had never actually taken the time to study it. Who needs a durned manual anyway . . . RIGHT . . . ?
So . . . long story short . . . I actually studied the darn thing. I not only studied the manual, I also studied "the board" at the same time and found what appears to be an undocumented jumper which is the sole reason for this entire post.
On this particular board, right behind the "JFP2" header and directly underneath the "JDLED" header is a two-pin jumper labeled "JGS1" (yellow arrow in the pic below) that I can find no documentation on nor even any reference to.
Anybody have a clue as to what this jumper does or why I can't get this board to make it beyond the "Loading Temporary Files" phase of the Windows installation?
Just curious . . . Doug

Okay . . . My System Specs (currently):
The items sub-listed, as numbers 1), 2), 3) etc., are all different pieces of hardware that have been tried one-at-a-time in various combinations. Each of the RAM sticks was tried, one-at-a-time, in each of the three available DIMM slots.

3) ULTRA V-Series 500W / +3.3V@20A,+5V@32A,+12V@28A
OS: Windows XPPro/SP2
With the clean/formatted WD1600 drive the XPPro/SP2 install CD starts to load Windows, makes it through the "Checking Computer Configuration" phase and starts the "Loading Temporary Files" phase. It always fails, at some "varying" point during the "Loading Temporary Files" phase, either with a spontaneous reboot or with a BSOD. The BSOD message is usually 0x07 or 0x08, but I've also seen 0x0A, 0x07e, 0x08e, "pci_sys", and "IRQL1_not_less_than_or_equal".
I don't know anything about Linux or the Linux Live CD, but I do have a recent copy of the UBCD4Win (Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) and with the clean WD1600 HDD in place, the UBCD disk will boot (very slowly) and run. But when I attempt to install the OS from it, it fails in the same manner as the original XPPro/SP2 install CD.
With the 80GB WD800 drive (pre-loaded w/ a cloned good copy of XPPro/SP2), the initial WindowsXP splash screen comes up but then fails to load with one of the same BSOD messages as the clean/formatted drive. The UBCD4Win disk fails to even load on this drive ending with the same BSOD screens.
I've tried the "fail-safe" 100MHz FSB setting, disabled all cacheing and shadowing in the BIOS, cleared the CMOS dozens of times, changed the battery, re-flashed the BIOS with the latest BIOS download from the MSI site (even though it was the same BIOS version that was already installed), and tried just about everything else that I can think of.
Even though I have no SATA/RAID drives installed, I did try the "Hit F6 key" option to install the SATA/RAID drivers and they seemed to install fine, but, of course, it made no difference.
I do have the JDLED1 "D-Bracket" and it ends up with all four green LED's lit indicating that the OS should be booting and I do get a single short "beep" as the BIOS kicks-in.
But . . . still nothing.
I really appreciate all of you guys here trying to help out. I've been putting systems together for twenty years and have never had one give me this much grief. I'm about at my wits-end with it.
All good . . . Doug

KT3 Ultra 2R + Barton 3000+

Hi all..
Hope someone can help.
I have a KT3 Ultra 2R board with the following stats:
Athlon XP (Barton) 3000+ FSB 166 CPU
CoolerMaster HHC-001 heatpipe H/sink with 80mm fan
Antec 520W PSU
2 x 100 ATA Maxtor Viper 80Gb HDD's with 8Mb cache each in striped RAID array
Asus TI 4600 Ultra 128Mb V/card
Audigy S/card
Lite-on CD/RW
Lite-on CD/DVD
2 x 512Mb Corsair XMS 3000 DDR Ram (333 and above) with aluminium heat spreaders
Lian-Li PC70 Tower case with 6 x 80mm fans
Rounded cables throughout
Win XP + SP1
The Problem:
This system worked fine with an Athlon XP 2200 CPU and I read MSI's CPU support list and saw the KT3 Ultra 2 6380E supported the Barton XP 3000+ CPU's so I bought one. :P
At first I had trouble booting on the 5.7 version bios, with the lock ups throught the bootup process. I reset the bois to the defaults and slowly worked up the settings using the recommendations in the forums.
At the moment, the system will boot up with fast command set to normal, no agressive DDR timings, 1T command disabled, fastwrite disabled, agp read/write disabled and SDRAM set to SPD (HCLK).
My 3DMark01 & 3DMark03 scores are lower than when I had the XP 2200 CPU installed and the SiSoft sandra results are the equivalent of a Athlon 2000. MSI says the board supports the Barton 3000+, but at what cost ??? :O
The system is very unstable and and requires on average 3 boots to boot up successfully. The 3DMark03 test often locks up mid way.
Any help or the settings MSI or you used to achieve their results would be VERY helpful. Please Help... ;(

I have had a similar problem running my kt3 ultra2 (non raid) at 166 fsb. In mid april I bought a 2600+ 166 fsb athlon to upgrade my system from a 1.2 ghz athlon. I bought some new pc2700 crucial ram to go along with the processor. I had also recently bought a radeon 9700 pro in late march, and a 1.2 athlon would just be a waste of this great vid card. I had been running fine with the radeon and the 1.2 athlon with the msi 5.7 bios and 4.43 via 4-in-1's.
I battled this problem for weeks. I bought a new antec 550 watt PSU, corsair xms 3200 ram, and new antec tower case trying to find out if the problem was ram, power or heat. I should also note that turning on spread spectrum helped a little in stability. Setting it to .50% made it stable in windows and games, but the computer would not turn on if shutdown unless I cleared the cmos. No setting besides this had any effect on stability. Even conservative ram timings. I was about to buy an Asus a7n8x when I realized that I had once run my old cpu and ram at 166 fsb when I had the 5.6 bios a couple of months back. I did not keep it like that in fear of damaging the ram while overclocked.
So I reflashed to 5.6 which still supported the 2600+. That finally worked almost perfectly, although I still have to keep spread spectrum at .25% to be stable (which is odd, people say that is supposed to hurt stability). So in my situation, it was the bios that was faulty. I have had some very ramdom crashes to the desktop (3 of them) in games and one hardlock with a blank bluescreen in unreal2. This is over a span of a month. So it is not perfect. It might be the display drivers causing this, which I have recently upgraded, or I might need to back off my ram timings which are at 2-2-2-5 which this ram can handle easily at 166. 3dmark has yet to crash. Prime 95 passed when I ran it for 30 minutes. Im going to run prime 95 today and see if it will run for like 12 hours stable. Im still looking into getting a new nforce 2 mobo, however (abit or asus).
I hope this helps your situation, you should give it a try. Although, the 5.6 bios does not support the 3000+. It might still work, it will maybe just not show up as a 3000+ in the bios, but as a 2.17 Athlon XP.
I think MSI should be made aware of this possible 5.7 bios fsb instability. Why spread spectrum seems to be related in my situation, is really odd also.

Lack of Ghz KT3 Ultra2 Barton 3000+

Dont want to sound like a broken record but I aswell am having problems with my newly purchased Barton 3000+ (400 fsb) with my MSI KT3 Ultra2. The problem is that whenever I try to set the FSB to the correct level, the computer fails to boot and I have to jump the cmos. I updated my bios to ver 5.7, and the highest i can get is to a 2400+
Two possible reasons I think are I have a Thermaltake Volcano 8 (which i believe isnt up to par) and my powersupply is a bit below the specs in the troubleshooting faq: L&C brand PSU +3.3V/24A +5V/35A +12V/12A. However I'm reluctant to go buy replacement parts because I've read of the people who did and it didnt help (limited budget.)
I've tried flashing with 3 different versions of 5.7 drivers, and even gave the 5.6 a go (highest i could get was 2200+) The highest I could get the FSB is to 199, but as soon as i try for 200 it zonks out on me. I've got 768 megs of no name ram that has served me well, and so thats not the problem... (hope not) I've also read a buncho topics and tried various things from them.
If I missed anything lemme know....
Oh while I'm here, my computer likes to restart itself whenever I tell it to shutdown. Sometimes it does stay off, usually when not running for very long. On occasion (not very often) It will come on on its own accord, which kinda concerns me

I don't know for sure, but aren't there two different types of Barton's being sold. One with a FSB 333 and one with 400 ?
So I think you will have to get the other type in order to get it working, since the mobo does only support FSB up to 333 MHz.
Maybe you can just replace the CPU where you bought it ?

Need help with MSI K7N2G-ILSR

This is probably a really easy problem to fix, but my internet time is limited since my old system is in pieces, and I have to do this from work.
My new MSI K7N2G-ILSR, running with a Barton XP2800 and 2 DIMMs of Geil 512MB DDR PC3200 , doesn't seem to be happy with things. When I tried to turn things on, I got no video output, and there was a regular series of beeps.
I believed this is just a memory issue, and I intended to look into it when I get home...however, it seems things are a little more complicated than I may have thought.
After failing to get any results with the pc3200 512 dimms, I switched to my old 2700 256 meg DIMMS, which I knew worked fine. To my surprise, the system then worked...almost. It got to a certain point, and then gave the message "no drive is connected to fastrack", or something to that effect, and then froze.
The system also worked with combinations of my old 256meg and one of the new 512s, but not with both 512s at once. The 256s, in combination, powered up every time; however, they didn't allow me to install anything. The combination of 2 256s and 1 512 worked most of the time, but would occasionally fail to detect the the RAM - resulting in the same steady beeping as earlier.
For the sake of curiousity, I removed the IDE cable from the DVD drive. To my surprise, Windows (the drive was not formatted) tried to load...which would not happen when the DVD was connected. I then reconected the DVD, and removed the IDE connection from the hard drive. XP tried to install, and then crashed...in fact, the whole system powered down. And now will not restart again. It's dead, and I can't seem to get a single response from it.
This made me wonder if the problem lies with my PSU. Does this sound like something which would happen if the PSU was playing up? I have a 450 watt unit, which I thought would be ok. But the only thing I can think is that the PSU doesn't have enough power to deal with the demands of my new system. I imagine the 3200 DIMMs require a lot more power than the 2700, which might explain why the system can't power up using two of them - the PSU can't handle it.
Any ideas at all? I'm getting more than a little frustrated now. Any advice gratefully received...

Remove all devices from your setup except the CD-ROM (or DVD device) and the hard drive, and connect each to the end connector on different IDE cable, making sure each device is set to "cable select" (preferred) or "master" (2nd choice). Plug the CD-ROM (or DVD device) into IDE2; Plug the hard drive cable into IDE1. For now, don't plug anything into IDE3.
Your power supply is probably adequate, but beware. While many PS'es are "high wattage," many don't deliver enough power to the critical 3.3V bus. Check to make sure that your PS is rated for AT LEAST 28 Amps for the 3.3VDC supply. If not, get a new ANTEC TRUE PS that is. Don't skimp on power; it's like you skimping on food, then running a marathon.
Only install (1) 256MB module in one of the two slots that are together. I recommend the slot closest to the CPU.
If you are running a video card, remove it and use the IGP for now.
Now, power up, and when you get the logo screen, go into your BIOS by pressing the delete key. If your screen is blank and just sits there, then power off, unplug the computer, and set the "clear CMOS jumper." Wait 30 seconds, replace jumper, plug in power cord, and restart computer.
When you get to BIOS, make certain that it sees both drives in the first BIOS screen. Set your time and day (if you like) and then go to the second screen and set your CD-ROM/DVD as the first boot device, set the HD0 as the second (it should already be that way), hit and save and exit, but don't set anything else. Your computer should now boot from the CD-ROM and try to install Windows (I assume XP.) When it asks for you to press F6 to load RAID drivers, don't.
Choose to format your drive using NTFS, don't choose the quick format.

K7N2G-ILSR - my experience

Well, after reading through this board's multitude of problems, I think I encountered them all when I went to install my mobo.
Here's my setup & experience:
AMD XP 2600+
MSI K7N2G-ILSR
2x 512MB DDR 400MHZ Infineon 64x64 modules
2x Maxtor 60Y080 80GB SATA 7200RPM drives
Creative SB Audigy Platinum EX
Intel Gigabit Ethernet Card
Logitech USB iTouch Keyboard
Logitech USB Dual Optical 4 Button Mouse
LG DVD ROM
LG DVD-RW/+RW/RAM Drive
420 watt X-PIDER Aspireusa Black case w/purdy lights & clear side
and a whooole lota patience.
First of all, let me explain, I used to do tech support, building computers, troubleshooting bad installs, fixing problems etc, my entire job was finding problems with systems and fixing them for a retail & corporate reseller.
Here's what I did, feel free to drop in suggestions of what I should/shouldn't have done, or what I can still try.
1) I plugged everything in and turned it on. (yeah yeah, I realized the error in my ways real quick)
Result: Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep... (all long beeps, which kept going on for ages, I lost count at 20+ and realized it wasnt an error code)
2) I unplugged everything one part at a time and restarting until I had 3 things plugged into the mobo, the Mobo, the CPU, and the 2 sticks of RAM, so it was one of those 3 things that were causing the problems.
Result was still the same beeping fyi.
3) I tried every option for the memory, alternated each stick in DIMM slot 1,2 and 3. Tried combinations of each module in different slots, until I had exhausted them all.
Result: same beeping.
4) Tried a 256MB Samsung module in slot 1
Result: POST!! YAY!
5) Went into BIOS to see what the settings were, made sure everything was ok and kept going with the install and the Samsung module - I restarted & went to the SATA RAID utility next. - CTRL-F took me to that screen.
Result: Froze on RAID Controller screen.
6) Or so I thought, after an hour or so, trying different things, replaced the USB Logitech Keyboard with a MS Natural PS2 keyboard was the next option.
Result: POST & RAID Setup works now!
7) Followed manual directions at this point (yeah, I wasn't taking any chances after all this crap) Went to verify the drives.
Result: Frozen drive verifaction at 72%
8) Retried verification.
Result: Worked.
9) Formatted Drive.
Result: Worked.
10) Installed OS after loading Raid Drivers.
Result: BSOD half way through Win XP setup. Rebooted to find the Raid Array is offline.
11) Deleted the Raid Array, started from Scratch.
Result: got allll the way to having the OS installed & Ready to go (I almost cried at this point, and hugged my roomie)
12) Installed Service Pack 1.
Result: Worked.
13) Installed Motherboard Drivers (from CD - yeah yeah, I should have downloaded the latest)
Result: BSOD. AGAIN. Restarted to find the Array Offline yet again.
14) Restarted after deleting the Array and setting it up again, thinking I'd have to install the OS all over, and it booted straight into the OS with no issues. ???
15) Left it running for 1/2 hour to see if it was an intermittent problem.
Result: While I was changing a T-Shirt (due to excessive sweat buildup from the stress) it spontaneously BSOD'd and reset - Array was offline again etc.
16) Reset Array & left for the weekend.
Result - Ran aaallll weekend no problem.
17) RMA'd my memory, getting replacements today, and so far the system still works...
so... ? What should I do? I'm scared it'll spontaneously BSOD again and leave me PCless.
Comments/Sympathies/Suggestions welcome. I need consoling *sniff*

18) Replaced the memory - memory worked.
19) Wiped the drive clean - resinstalled the OS.
20) Upgraded the BIOS on the Motherboard & RAID Controller
21) Updated the Drivers for the Motherboard, Video Card and Sound Card - unplugged all other peripherals.
22) BSOD On installing the Motherboard drivers.
23) BSOD On running any 3d/Sound programs
24) Live updated kept BSODing every time I tried to load it.
25) Wiped the drive clean again, reseated all cards, tried one memory stick.
26) Reinstalled the OS - Froze half-way through intall - restarted, reformatted, reinstalled.
27) Immediately after install worked, I updated the Drivers for the motherboard - BSOD again.
28) Installed all other required drivers (LiveUpdate for motherboard - Video, Sound) I thought maybe it was a problem with an outdated peripheral driver.
29) played with all BIOS settings again with the RAM Latency, clock speeds etc. BSOD every 4-6 minutes no matter what I tried.
30) Tried pulling out the sound card and using the onboard, re-enabling it in the bios. Same problem - BSOD every few minutes.
31) Tried switching up the 9800Pro with an older Nvidia GeForce 3 - Same problem - BSOD every few minutes, the only things I have not replaced or unplugged are the Motherboard & CPU.
32) Lost patience with said motherboard - pulled it out of the case & packaged it up to send back.
