Well I am sending my Epox 8HKA+ back to newegg on thursday.
Got the RMA and now the XP333 is running great so its going back. I never could get it stable and even with the help of many in the EPOX forum over at AMDMB it was a no go.

Sounds like this board has problems....I'll suggest RMA'ing to my friend.

Long live ASUS!!!!

I'd still take an Epox over those POS Abit boards I had trouble with in the past. To each his own, I guess.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AMD-1900-detected-as-1200-1875638 Wed, 28 Nov 2001 21:30:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AMD-1900-detected-as-1200-1875565 The overall experiance in dealing with the AMD cpu and Epox motherboard leaves a bad taste in my mouth....don't think I'll be getting one of those soon.

I haven't had an opportunity to play with an Athlon XP, but I have heard they are multiplier locked. Can you lower the multiplier to 10 or less(133 FSB) then step up and see if it posts? Might be a way to determine if the problem is power related.

You have the recent N+ bios chip and it posts at 100, so I would think it's seated properly.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AMD-1900-detected-as-1200-1875452 Wed, 28 Nov 2001 21:07:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-AMD-1900-detected-as-1200-1874851
SDRAM cycle length: 3

DRAM PreChrg to Act CMD: 3T

..and so on.

In a review of this motherboard that I read from a link on the Epox web site, the reviewer had some problems running 3DMark2001 and was told by Epox that they had trouble with Micron memory, for what it's worth. Changing the memory didn't fix the problem. The review used the same processor that you are using.

Another thing I noticed was that the BIOS chip is seated in a PLCC socket. It is possible that it is not seated all the way down into the socket. It probably came a long distance before it was put in your hands. That might be worth investigating if you think the BIOS chip is faulty.

Looking thought the bulletins on Epox, I didnt find any mention about bad BIOS chips....Hey Insuw where did you learn about that? Anyrate, it sounds like a case of RMA to me

The only way the computer will boot is if the jumper on the MB is set in the 100fsb position. After it boots up, I go into the bios and change the fsb to 133, save and reboot. Then the computer hangs with '26' in the diagnostic LEDs and a black screen. Reset CMOS and select the 133FSB option on the MB. The computer boots with '26' on the LEDs and a black screen....I have varified that the CPU is a 1900+. This was a problem with the factory BIOS and the newest one we got from the website. What else should I try?

I'd be suspicious also of a possible weak power supply.

Epox doesnt have the kha+ Manual online...You got a link for that backwards cmos jumper?

jmn1207: Took look though the paper manual and didnt see anything about PCI jumpers. There is only 2 jumpers on the board.
