Ok
List of parts
Abit NF7-S MB Rev. 2.0
Silicon Image 3112 Bios version 20
I checked the newest Bios and Abit says there is no change as far as the newer versions of Bios ( as far as the NF7-S is concerned ) all changes in bios are for the AN7 boards guess they use the same Bios.
Batron 2500+ CPU
Crucial 400Mhz DDR (2 sticks 512 Mb each total 1 Gig)
SEAGATE Sata drives 80 GB (2) in Raid 0+ 160 GB total
Enermax EG425-VE SFMA (420 watt)
Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB ram
Herules Fotisimo 7.1 Sound card
Cooling
Innovatek Rev 3.0 CPU Block
Chevette Heater core
Enhiem 1250 pump
120MM fan (shrouded ) currently running at 5 volts
Power looks good and it doesnt help if I bump voltages.
Ram timming is currently set to optimal 8/3/3/3.0
and FBS will go up to 190 Stable
FBS 195 will get into windows but bench mark (3D mark 2001 SE and others) fail to launch
Tried everything I can think of as far as timing and it makes no difference.
Beginning to wonder if it isnt the video card, maybe the FBS change is throwing the Video off.
Any thoughts?
