prob w/ nf7

[Emericana]

I have two probs w/ the new nf7 (non -s) that i have:

1) it will not do high FSB's. I do not know what exact FSB it will not boot into windows but it will boot into it at 166mhz, but not at 180, 190, and 200. I have corsair xms 3200 ram that i am positive will do 211fsb with only 2.5v. I have tried all of the voltages on the ram and northbridge. it is not a question of my cpu being stable cause my 1700+ will not do 7x200.... it will post, but not go into windows
2) i can not use a USB keyboard and Mouse together. i had the same prob w/ my old 8rda+ . i ge a motherboard resources error in windows.

CPU=1700+ Tbred B
512mb Corsair XMS 3200 Cas 2.5
Albatron turbo gf4 non oc
audigy in slot 4

integrated sound, cpu thermal throttling disable in bios.

I use an adapter for my usb keyboard myself...... never even bothered to try and use both at the same time.

A usb/ps2 adapter? it doesnt work w/ the MS Natural Pro Elite probably cause there is a built in usb hub.

I have narrowed down the issue. I am able to run any fsb i want using the 11.0x and 11.5x mults. Anything under that, i can not run a SINGLE MHZ above 166mhz and boot into windows. seeing how my cpu maxes out at 11x180, this is not good. all i have to say is WTF! abit needs to come out w/ a bios to fix this unless someone else knows something...

this is crap i still cant get it to work w/ mults 8.0-10.5x i even changed my ram from 1x512corsair xms 3200 cas 2.5 to 2x256 winbond pc3200 and i still have the same friggin prob!

i believe this is a known problem with the NF7 motherboard.

there might be some answers in here:

that is w/ 333fsb cpus. i dont need to cut a bridge cause my CPU is 266mhz and thus should work 100% fine

i know there is another similar thread around here. the problem has to do with low mults and high FSBs. they get into it a little in the thread i linked.

yeah i had the same problem with my NF7, my XP1800 would do 1.8ghz without a hitch at 100 and 133 fsb. But can barely do 1.5ghz at 166+ fsb. I rma'ed it twice for other problems i've been having with it. allstarshop finally decided just to give me a refund. Kimberley from allstarshop said they were going to pull the NF7-S off there shelves because of the volume of RMA's there getting for bios failures. so bust out my trusty kg7 again. If i were you i would try to get a refund and wait for the rev2.

guys i figured it out w/ help of OPP... disable APIC and then reinstall windows and everything works great!
