I recently bought a Soyo SY6vba. It is in an Inwin a500 case with a 433 celeron & sloket. Standard AGP card, generic 64 mb sdram. Have been having problems with intermittent shutdowns, windows errors, and this morning, a corrupted registry.
Initially, I couldn't get any video. That was traced to a bad video card. Since then I have swapped memory, power supplies, video cards, etc. Nothing makes a difference.
Only thing I can find wrong is in voltages. If I look at the SOYO combo setup (or use hardware doctor or motherboard monitor) I show the following voltages:
vcore: 2.04v VTT: 1.52v
3.3 v: 3.56v +5v: 5.08v
+12 v: 12.03v vbat(v): 3.04v
5vsb(v): 5.02
When I tried another good atx power supply, I got the same readings. This is driving me crazy.
Of course, the vendor told me that "they are all like that" - the old used car response. Soyo is claiming it must be the power supply, but that is not it.
Does anyone have any ideas.
