Well, this is turning into an epic!
My new NF7-s Ver2 arrived and I did the install, taking various bits of advice from your good selves and others - all was well - I didn't drown it in grease, and I didn't suffocate the back with insulation.
And it booted!
And posted and all looked well (even mem86'd the carp mem that I've got and it was good all the way to 190 (it's only 333mem!)
Anyway - that's where the party ended!
I cannot get it to boot into windows for love nor money. Stats at the moment are:
XP-M 2600+
NF7-s ver2
256Mb Ram (pc2700)
Running:
166x12 (tried all the way down to 166x9)
CPu - 1.775v
Mem - 2.7v
VDD - 1.7v
Agp - 1.6v
I've tried various combinations to no avail.
Mem is at 2.5-3-3-11 (tried by SPD and various others - mem86 tested fine so
)
Plugged in a HDD from another machine with XP already installed (thought it would save time!) Starts to boot and immediately resets (no scroll - doesn't get that far)
Tried Safe Mode - starts loading drivers and gets to agp440.sys and then reboots - every time.
I tried another drive that had Win 2000 and linux on it - 2000 reboots - Linux crashes, but gives a lot of detail - if this would help anyone, I can note down what it says!
I have not tried a clean install, might do it tomorrow, but can't see this making a difference (although all the other installs were on very different hardware?)
Ideas?
