just purchased a Soyo K7ADA mobo with Duron 950, 256 DDR ram. put in bare essentials (floppy, video and HD) loaded XP OS. everything loaded correctly. boot-up and at anytime the computer locks up. flashed BIOS with newest ver, cleared CMOS and loaded BIOS defaults. but still freezes. i bought 3 of these as a package deal, mobo and processor. have tried 2 of the 3 and both do the same thing. have tried different video and HD. still no change. does anyone have any suggestions???? thanks to all...

Different MOBO but Steven Woods is having trouble with his SOYO in his string below.

Coincidence?

he is having a few issues but everything with mine works and it boots correctly but just randomly freezes after the OS loads (everytime). have changed processors and made changes in BIOS but still no change...

you chould look at your RAM. Are they ECC or non-ECC OR register or not. This could be the issue. Have you tried another OS such as W2k ? Maybe it's only a driver issue too.

Having the same problems, freezes, lots of fatal errors. Can't install or unistall without fatal errors. Same set up as admr

I've been through two of the boards now, using a Duron 1GHz and 256 MB PC2100. The first one couldn't see my GeForce 4 MX card, so I took it back for a new one. I couldn't install Win XP with Number Two in place, but 98SE seemed to install just fine (XP as an upgrade ran *really* slow). Afterwards, I ran into blue screens when installing the mobo utilities and also my SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 card. The last straw, however, was the machine freezing up when launching Jedi Knight II. A friend at the store I work for tells me he's seen quite a few of these boards come back to the shop. Sorry Soyo, I'm trading up to something else...
