@venturer
i'm also using ecs mobo and 1.2g tb. i'm running win2k. i had some configmg error when i installed win2k. but now the system is 'aparently' running ok with automatic reboot with every cold boot no other problem. i was reading posts in an ECS K7S5A forum and found out that a lot of mobo owners were having problems installing OSes and various other problems whenever they were upgading to xp.
somebody figured it out that this mobo causes memory errors and possible data corruption. so i downloaded memtest86 v. 2.8 from www.memtest86.com and sure enough i got 44 errors in one pass. so you could try and see what happens.
