Re:I flashed the BIOS too… I've tried removing the Sound Card and all the drivers too… NADA…
Nothing works! I'm throwing in the towel… =p I'm returning the Motherboard and CPU!
Talk about major stability issues with the motherboard and the trouble I've gone thru for the past week!! I'm going to go conservative and going to build something that's stable and known to have no stability or compatibility issues this time.

Re:guy here. Same person different logon.
Re flashing the bios. I have already done this and in fact am using Bios 1006.01 (beta) and still lock ups. Re the SBlive5.1 card – I did testing with different drivers from a fresh install with only the Geforce3 in the computer so it can't be anything to do with a sound card IRQ conflict.
Mombo, if you have any luck let me know. I'm going to price some new mobos.

Re:I'll try to flash with the newest A7A266 BIOS Ver. 1004 and see what happens… I hope it works…
I'm curious if anyone else had these kinds of lock up problems with the A7A266 motherboard? Or what kind of hardware they're running with it…? Thanks for the input stargazer. I'll try it out tonite when I get home.
guy: If you try the new BIOS Ver.1004 and it works, please let me know… Thanks!

Re:This is exactly the same problem I was having with my A7V133A board. Flashing the bios to the newest version fixed it right up… works wonderfully now. If you goto Asus website you can download the bios revision and the utility to flash it.
I found out what is causing the problem though… the bios doesnt properly recongnize the SBLive card. I noticed that when I had it in the Sound Blaster emulation would use IRQ5 like it was supposed to but the SBLive! Series was using IRQ 11, which is the same IRQ as the video card. It doesnt say it is conflicting but if you look at this you will notice the same i am sure. Hence, why it tends to lock up in games. However, after I updated the bios it properly recognized it and assigned IRQ5 to the SBLive Series as well.
Check it out, if you look under your Control Panel/System/ you will see what I mean.Freedom Lifestyle Income Program
Re:I'm having the same problem except I'm using the Asus V8200 Geforce3.
I've run out of ideas and am contemplating getting a different mobo.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'd also like to hear the specs from anyone who is using an A7A266 with a Geforce3 and can play games without freezing/crashing.
Cheers

Re:is your BIOS the newest revision? Might wanna try that. Is the a driver that you're suppose to install similar to the VIA4in1 for VIA chipsets?
