g200 + AMD K7 m/b Gigabyte 7ix

[raptor666]

My system is;
Win98 SE
Gigabyte 7ix
64mb Ram
Athlon 500
G200 Milennium Rev A

With Latest drivers + bios and no other cards.

I have a problem that whenever I do a cold boot on my system. It does a hard crash (display all messed up) have to reset. When I restart it defaults back to 640 480 16 colour. So I reinstall PD 5.30 and restart It works fine.

I just want to know why does it crash from a cold boot?? Is it a problem with the VGA bios?

I dont want to have to reinstall the drivers every time I boot from cold.

Had the exact same problem. Here's the solution:

You need to change the Voltage I/O setting on the motherboard to 3.31V. See page 19 of the k7M manual.

I tried everthing -- drivers, irqs, swapping pci cards in & out etc, etc.

Finally found the solution at www.amdzone.com.

Everything works fine now!

Sorry! -- thought you had an ASUS K7M m/b. But the solution may still apply to your set up as your problem is a mirror image of mine.
