    Post just installed kt7a, not running to good...

    I just installed my brand new kt7a raid, and some new mosel pc133, the system seems very unstable and I'm not really able to overclock at all..first of all should I reformat? then there are so many different options in the bios, that are different from my a7v, I don'n even know where to begin...turbo mode? fast cpu command decode? any advice on some optimal settings?

    Reformatting may be your best option. If you are willing to reformat, first I would try going into control panel system device manager and deleting the old mobo drivers/controllers. Then shut down and restart and install the new drivers that came with your new mobo. DON'T delete your cdrom. When you restart windows may not recognize it for you...(just happened to me on a mobo switch). I went from an Abit SE6 to the KT7A Raid board by doing the above and it worked great for me. I did not have to reformat. However I have done it and for some reason it hasn't worked. So, if you don't mind reformatting maybe try this first(for practice).
    For optimizing your memory cpu settings read this. I did and found it very helpful. It brought my statistics way up.

    Good Luck. Hope you like the mobo. I have not had any trouble with mine.
