I am having a bit of trouble with a m7vkb BIOSTAR motherboard and an Athlon tbird 900 CPU. I think i've probably traced the problem back to something power related. the situation is the system will boot and post and will count memory and then detect the hard disks, but after a short time the system will suddenly hang. i will reboot and it will do either something very odd or not do anything at all, I have noticed also the longer i leave the power off (its a UPS) the further i get. Usually if i leve it off a few mins i can get into the bios then suddenly the keyboard locks up and everything stops. exept now and then you see some odd pixes light up funny. Another thing is occasionally when i try booting alot the UPS low power alarm will go off and constantly buzz.
DOes anyone have any ideas? I am fairly sure this sounds like a power problem, but i'm not sure what from, i tried my 300W athlon approved one and a 230W older ATX one, neither worked, I believe that when i tried the 230W one it was not going through the UPS, and was on another circuit all together, and also the hard disk wernt plugged in (only the mobo). Any thoughts?
