Is anyone out there having problems with the K7N2-Delta in not booding
properly. When the computer needs to reboot, it will shut down and then
just hang. I look on the LED's on the D-card signifying a MEmory/Memory
Controller problem. I have tried different types of memory, as well as
exchanging the motherboard itself. Once the computer boots it is fine. I
am just wondering it this is a widespread problem, or if I am just having
bad luck.

Yes - same symptoms - and D-card signifies the same issue. I wasn't
sure where to start - as several things are new: K7N2 Delta-L, 1gig
ram (2x512), xp2400 cpu, W.D. 80gb 7200. (Other parts were existing &
verified, including 32mb 4x agp card). Once booted I'm fine, but when
boot problem persists, then I remove 1 stick of ram and it comes right
up. Occasionally, I can re-insert the 2nd 512 and it will boot and
work ok. Some of the no-boots are partial boots. Win2k gets started
and then bsod's with a different error each time. Not sure what to do
- still toying with config. I haven't yet tried to update the bios.
(btw - my mem is Kingston PC2700 333mhz). Any advice would be
appreciated!!

I posted previously with a problem on the k7n2 delta-L - appears
fixed!! I flashed the bios with 5.2 and it now seems to work fine!
It was shipped with 5.1, which had a fix for my memory config, but I
still had an apparent memory problem. The 5.2 update seemed to fix it,
though it didn't appear (by their change notes) appear to address my
memory issue.... go figure.

Thanks for the tip. I flashed my bios with 5.2 and have reset the computer
multiple times with no problems. Spread the word!
