[Liver]

Gents,

After reading many posts and several bios flashes (using the flags that were recommended).

In specific using the 11/30/04 bios release for the 8KDA3+ with
AWDFLASH [biosflash].bin /py /wb /cc /cd /cp

I noticed that the system is faster, the slight to annoying lag is gone, and startup is also faster. Memory autiomatically comes up with 200, using Corsair 3200 XMS.

But the random restarts and BSODs remain (although fewer). I think that I have done everything I can to test the system. Re-read that, everything I can, not what experts can do. I am no expert. Changed memory, vid card, not the processor, no overclocking ever.

I am thinking of RMAing the board. I just want something comparable, but stable. I have been pleased with this board (when it works). I would not mind staying with Epox, but I think I want something different than the 8KDA3+, unless there is something you all can tell me.

In the arena of revisions, do you know if there was an update to the board (not bios)? How, where, can I find out all this?

In your opinion would the EP-8HDA3+ be a decent lateral alternative? This is the one that uses the VIA chipset.

Or would you suggest I go to another manufacturer (last option to me)?

Regards,

Liver.
