ABIT TH7IIRAID - Anyone got one working with Win98se & a HT 3.06ghz+ P4 ?
X-No-Archive: yes
On my P4 TH7IIRAID board I am using a P4 3.06Ghz processor with a 533Mhz Bus. Settings a 133 FSB 23 x Multipler CPU Default Voltage RDRAM 300 x After a fresh install of Win98SE on a formatted drive it will lock up when it comes to detecting PnP drivers. In the logs I find: [000F2A88] Starting Unknown (HTREE\RESERVED\0) [000F2A88] Started Unknown (HTREE\RESERVED\0) [000F2A88] Enumerating Unknown (HTREE\RESERVED\0) [000F2A88] Enumerated Unknown (HTREE\RESERVED\0) What is this its finding ? Has anyone with a Hyper Threading processor got Win98se to work ? Or is thie BIOS bugged (version EH) ? Putting the an older P4 1.7 works straight way so I assume its something to do with the P4 3.06 processor. As it a fresh install with no cards except a graphics card in there. |

The 850 chip-set does not physically support hyperthreading. It seems as if WinXP recognises and avoids inappropriate calls but Win98SE apparently doesn't. The BIOS, of course gives no HT choice (since the 850 chip-set does not support HT). When Win XP comes up, how many processors do you see in Device Manager ? You should only see one.... Of course, I am assuming that you loaded a motherboard driver appropriate for both the TH7II and Win98SE. Presumably you have since the P4 1.7 works OK ? John Lewis |

Yes I can only see 1 CPU. If I use utils like PCWizard they can see the HT features. Of course, I am assuming that you loaded a motherboard driver appropriate for both the TH7II and Win98SE. Presumably you have since the P4 1.7 works OK ? Yes on the older installation. On a formatted installation of 98 it will not get to allow me to install the drivers.. except in safe mode - but when I go to normal mode it will freeze. I've got a hard disk free.. im gonna install various O/S and see how they react.. |

Disable the onboard network/ethernet port
Windows 98 has big problems when running a processor above 2ghz and connected to a network card. try disabling the onboard lan then do a clean install, see how you get on. I went through this around 18 months ago when I had an abit kd7 and an xp2400+. worked fine until I overclocked it to 2.2ghz (200x11) then it refused to boot. Microsoft know of this problem and there was a different network driver file available for 98/se, but only on request. It was at that point I gave up on 98(se) and went to xp home on my games machine. If you dont need the onboard lan, disable it thru bios. my 2p hth, chris |
