I have an Epox 8RDA+ MB.  Last friday I was working at my desk and my
computer shuts off.  I think I knocked the power supply switch against
the back of my desk.  So I curse it of and immediately turn the
computer back on.  At first, I see a normal BIOS POST screen; but with

8KTA3PRO, PC 133 mem, 2 X 256.
BIOS setting, mem speed, is auto, SPD, but the first page of POST sequence
gives the reading "DRAM Clock 100 MHz".  Interpret this for me please.
Various diagnostic apps show physical mem is pc133. Should I change setting

I've had my EPoX 8RDA+ board running fine for about a year
now. The CPU is an Athlon 2100+ and I've got 512mb of RAM.
Anyway, I get home and turn on my monitor to nothing; there
is no signal coming from the PC.  I look down, see that it's on

Oh dear, my nice 8RDA+ (bought 22/Jan/03) froze up yesterday, and will
no longer boot. Disconnected everything, and the boot still hangs at
'C1' or 'C3' or (sometimes) 'FF' .. swapped the CPU, and tried it with
various memory combinations .. no dice. When it hangs the HD light is ...

I have just bought a WD 200GB and I'm faced with the issue of does the
4PCA3+ support 48 Bit LBA, can anyone shed any light on this for me?

I am wondering if anybody is aware of a 8K3A bios (KT333 chipset) that
allows 1/6 divider? so when I am at 200Mhz FSB I will still have 33Mhz PCI
thanks

I'm about to switch my 8KHA+ motherboard out for another one, i had
bad caps.
I can still boot the old one.
I'd like to transfer my custom bios settings to the new board.

I just asked myself how I can read the real temperature of my
Athlon XP 3000+ (Barton) CPU. Since the BIOS only shows the temperature of
the socket diode but the Barton CPU has got an internal diode itself,
there should be a way to read this.

Sadly, it seems as if I'm going to need to replace my MB.  I
currently have a EPoX 8RDA+ board that I bought last year
(I'm not sure why it died so young) that I was/am pretty happy
with.  As a result, I plan on replacing it with a similar model.

I'm about to reinstall Windows XP on a 8K3A computer. It used to be the
case that it was better to just use the standard XP drivers and not bother
with the VIA drivers. Is this still the case ? There have been severl newer
versions of the VIA drivers since this machine was first ...

Hi, i dont suppose you know when a new bios will be released for the
motherboard EP-8KRA2+ and EP-8KRA2i
Cheers  ;-)

Does the NMC 3VBM support the Celeron 566 ?
http://www.epox.org/support/cpu-support.pdf says not.
What can be happen if i use a Celeron 566 ?
Is the Celeron 566 PPGA or FCPGA ?

I have a windowsXP system based on an 8KRA2+ but lately after switch off I
notice that the CAPS LOCK led and my optical mouse remain lit.
Anyone know how to disable these so that they switch off.

I have the Epox 8K9A7i motherboard and was wondering what type of
(amount of mb) RAM memory I am able to use with my motherboard. I
already have the first slot with 256 mb. If I would like to buy more
memory I have to buy another one with 256 mb for slot 2 (makes dual

I've just bought a DVD writer but am stuck now for where to put it; my
system is setup thus:-
primary master   : 160GB Maxtor HDD
primary slave      :  40GB Seagate HDD
