Anyone else used this motherboard ?
Bought one from Komplett the other day with high hopes, but have spent 2 days trying to get the damn thing stable
No overclocking, just at standard settings
3 installs of XP later and can't even install devices without it resetting on me. Needless to say its going back, to be replaced with a (hopefully more stable) Abit NF7 v1.2 board.
Anyone used the Abit board ?

I bought this board two weeks ago and it works a treat. I've had no problems whatsoever, I am running an athlon1800xp, Geforce4ti4800se and 512megs 3200 ram on it and its solid as a rock with windows xp, also bought it from Komplett perhaps yours is faulty?

I had a 1GB of 2100 ram and a Radeon 9100 in mine. I'm thinking it didn't like the ram 
Did you have to adjust any settings for your hard drives in the bios as it seemed very lazy in doing this automatically ?

No it autodetected both my hard drives fine (one of which is a 6 year old 2gig antique!) only thing I had to do was turn on the smart facility in the bios (cos it said both my drives were smart capable but it was turned off)
