K7M-Power Issues?? Help me!!

[goldboyd]

I just got a couple k7m's, and i'm having power issues. Originally, it would only post every 10 or so times. after applying the latest bios flash, now i rarely/never post on the first try, but after hitting rest, it boots up fine. i've tried a couple different mobos, couple power supplies, same thing.

thansk in advance

Amd says that the Athlons require "clean power". What I've seen here is that Amd has a list of approved power supplies listed at their site. Try www.amd.com (http://www.amd.com) for that info.

I've also seen posts that indicate some 250 watt supplies will work even though Amd recommends 300 watts.

Good luck!
