I've a problem with my mother-board ASUS K7V and my video ATI RADEON. Sometimes, pc starts in provvisory-modality, or doesn't start. In second case, pc restarting in provvisory-modality; pc resetting and it's ok.
Thanks for replying and excuse me for bad-english (i'm italian!!! :))
I've a K7 600MHz, ASUS K7V with ultimate Bios, 128 Mb/133MHz Ram, ATI Radeon 64Mb.

The latest 4.13.7075 driver set are known to be stable with this board. I have also been informed that the recent 7078 beta drivers work well.
One user also reported that there is a sequence you need to follow in loading the board drivers and VIA's AGP driver. He recommended the following:
Fully remove the previous ATI driver set using uninstall.
Choose PCI Adapter and reboot.
Load DirectX 7.0a or 8 - reboot
Load latest VIA AGP driver - reboot
Load ATI driver set - reboot
Reload latest VIA AGP driver - reboot
Reload DirectX - reboot
You may need to set the AGP driving strength to 68.
Disabling P2C/C2P Concurrency in the Advanced Chipset Features menu of the BIOS instabilities solved some problems.
There is a conflict between the "Gart" file for the VIA chipset on the KT7x and the Gart file for the ATI 64 DDR video card. ATI technical support advise users to change the "atigart.exe" filename (in the ATI directory) after installation to "atigart.ati" and then load the VIA AGP driver. This prevents a conflict between the two GART drivers
