I had a lot of problems with the mobo already. The BIOS was hosed when I got it. When I would try and change the boot settings it would only allow me to be in there for about 5-10 seconds before it would either reboot or freeze with random characters. Once I flashed the BIOS and cleared the CMOS I was able to go in and load the optomized defaults and change the boot order. I still however get random blackouts on the machine. Anytime the VGA cable is moved slightly, USB cable becomes unplugged, or I take the ethernet cable out of the NIC the monitor goes to sleep and the computer is non-responsive and then I have to reboot it in order for things to work properly again. It does have the NVidia chipset, installing the drivers from them maybe correct this problem? I am also running the x86_64 version of the OS. Is it as stable as the x86 version? <div>On 3/22/06, Matthew Galgoci <<a href="mailto:mgalgoci@redhat.com">mgalgoci@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 12:12:02 -0500 > From: Jason Brown <<a href="mailto:ninjazjb@gmail.com">ninjazjb@gmail.com</a>> > Reply-To: Getting started with Red Hat Linux <<a href="mailto:redhat-install-list@redhat.com"> redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a>> > To: <a href="mailto:Redhat-install-list@redhat.com">Redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a> > Subject: Built new server, but says it has 33Mhz fsb > > The new server that I built has a 754 AMD Sempron along with a Biostart > motherboard.

You will 1) want to make sure you have the latest bios from your vendor and 2) make sure the timings on the motherboard are set properly for your cpu - clearly they seem to not be set properly - most modern motherboards set timings in the bios. A "load optimal default" operation in the bios might also be another shortcut. -- Matthew Galgoci GIS Production Operations Red Hat, Inc 919.754.3700 x44155 _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Redhat-install-list@redhat.com">Redhat-install-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list </a> To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: <a href="mailto:redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com">redhat-install-list-request@redhat.com</a> Subject: unsubscribe </blockquote></div>
