Re: Do I have to reinstall Windows for my Epox 8KHA+??? Quote:
As a precaution, ALWAYS back up your important/critical files before you do any upgrades. One once of prevention is better than a kick in the ass. Boot into safe mode. Right click on "My Computer" and pull up the "Device Manger" tab. Go through and wipe out EVERYTHING that relates to the mobo: System Resources, USB, Drive controllers. Just wipe them out. Power down, swap mobos, power back up, and let it detect everything.

My wife and I just swapped out an Asus P3V4X for an Asus BX P3BF, but She's running W2K. I didn't do any prep work as we were going to Reformat and reinstall. Damned if it didn't open re-load the drivers in a flash and run rock solid ever since, been about a week now. Go figure! I too always thought this was a real necessary thing to do. It may be W2K or the fact they were both Asus boards, got me!

Mind you this IS W2K, but ya I'd try it, unless you want to clean house, always a good thing to do. I wanted to know why it was crashing every five mins. when on line. I had some reason to suspect the Via board, turned out I was right, at lest it stopped crashing, "I" never really know what's going on, I just putter until I get things working again.

We would suggest that regardless of operating system, the install of any mainboard using a differing chipset or chipset configuration (different onboard audio even), a fresh install should be perfromed from the bottom up. This may seem like a lot of hassle but will guarantee a much fresher remit. Regardless of the suggestions to remove devices from the device manager, and re-install a fresh, we would suggest to ignore this advice - registry entries are made on various hardware elements that are not removed when devices are installed, hence the necessity to do the sensible thing - a clean install. This will guarantee optimal performance and stability (and will make it easier to debug should anything be amiss). You have to imagine that you are a system integrator manufacturinga board from fresh components from the boxes.

That, and I've always found a format to work better when swapping mobos. So listen to the Epox Tech.

I will state I am a "he" !!! Yeah I do work in a technical role here (which I love) and can state that I quite like this overclocking thing. I'd love to see more people fronting their acheivements of 3D Mark scores of like 9,000 at default sets or 176Mhz FSb's or things like that though. Come' on' Guys' - let's see what amazing things you overclockers are acheiving !!!

I'll order or buy that board this weekend, and see what I can do for ya! What processor are you using on that thing? I'll probably go with a 1.4 Tbird, if I can find a good stepping. I'll report back after I go to the computer show this weekend. I hope I'm not disappointed like a few years back when I went!

The Duron Morgan is also great for playing around with the FSB on a low multiplier. My favourite has to be the Athlon Thunderbird still. I use the MTS Glaciator to cool them - Daniel put me onto it.
