Ok the board locked up in the middle of a game, at restart the D-bracket LED's showed
G R
R R
with 1 long repeated beep.
I reset the CMOS but no change
The board ran great for 7 month very stable.
Win XP pro
1900XP
bios 2.4
Apacer 2x256 slot 1 & 3
G-force 3
It appears that the D-Bracket never even gets to check the ram, it goes right to the
early chipset init. thing
thanks

As i have written before, this motherboard also seems to be _very_ sensitive to the correct insertion of the graphics card.
If you are inserting a memory module or IDE cable at one end of the motherboard, the physical tension tends to move the inserted graphics card by a not noticeable amount. But this is enough. Removing graphics card and reinsert it correctly is the only solution i found. It did not help to just press a little on the card.

Thanks guy's it was ram.
One stick went bad. Now I'm the dumbo, I really should have known to check it.
Beaverpants, Wonkanoby, you guy's are getting pretty good. Also the video card reseating was good to but that, I already did. You know the board went out so fast I was looking for the D-bracket to show a code relating to the memory and when it showed the early chipset initialization i just jumped to the wrong conclusion. :O
Thanks again.
