The only driver that I didn't install was the PCI IDE Bus Driver. Every time I loaded that one, all my downloads would freeze after a couple seconds. Even now, I've tried a fresh OS reload, and loading the 4 in 1 with F11 BIOS causes strange behavior from my video...lots of artifacts and...
I've tried that already. Every time I've tried that, my system freezes within seconds of beginning a download. The only way that it doesn't lock is when I don't install the PBI Driver (first driver in the 4 in 1). That's why I'm so frustrated.
Whenever I've run video-intensive applications, my system will either lock, crash, or dump to the desktop. Here's my setup:
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP Rev 2.0 mobo
AMD AthlonXP 2200+
512MB PC2700 Corsair
27GB + 13.6GB Maxtor HDD
Hercules 3DProphet DDR
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Windows 2000 Professional...

I've finally gotten fed up with trying to make my GA-7VXRP run stable. I'd like to get a board that is very stable (overclocking not an issue), has onboard LAN and RAID, and runs the KT333 chipset. Here's my current setup:
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP Ver 1.1 (lastest BIOS)
Athlon XP 2200+ w/approved...
I've tried running the core voltage up to +7.5% (about 1.72V) and I still get reboots. I'm to the point that I'm just going to return this board. Any suggestions on a decent replacement? I'm looking at a Soyo Dragon because it has all the on-board options that the GA-7VRXP has with greater...
Epik, I called up the tech, and I had a better idea about the problem than he did. I hate guys that just go down a list of problems and can't suggest any novel solutions. I've actually done all that you suggested. I've had these problems before with previous boards, and it never seems to be a...
Here's my current setup:
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP Ver 1.1 (lastest BIOS)
Athlon XP 2200+ w/approved fan/heat sink
512 MB Corsair PC2700 DDR
Enermax 431W PS
3D Prophet DDR GeForce

I've had two sets of problems here. First, before I got a new...
