I flashed the bios a couple weeks ago on my Abit KG7Raid in preparation for the purchase of an XP1900+. The flash seemed to go fine. I used the computer for the last two weeks without a problem. I switched out the CPUs and selected the XP in the bios. It posted but wouldn't go past the collecting DMA pool data screen.( I think that was the terminology). Played around a little, checked my connections, etc and the same thing. Locked up at the collecting or verifying screen. Thought I had a bad XP. Put my 1.2 Athlon back in and it did the same thing. Toward the end of my attempts it wouldn't even POST. My connections are good and my bios settings are correct. What gives? Anyone had this problem? I have never overclocked so that can be ruled out. The Bios Flash went fine. The date changed and XP was an option in the bios now.

Is my board toast?
