Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>mainboard>soyo (more info?)
Soyo KT880 Mobo
AMD 3200+ CPU (Not a fake)
1Gb Mem (2x512)
2x80Gb WD sata hd's (raid)
wxp sp2
New Enermax Power supply 400w

I have power on/reset issues with the mobo. I'll push the power button and
the computer will not turn on. It will try but just turn off. I'll try a
few more times and eventually it will come on.

I have installed the 'smart gaurdian' software from soyo's webpage and it is
reporting the cpu temp as 18c when the bios lists on die temp as 53c

I have found when I change some bios settings and save them the computer
turns off. When I return to the bios I find things have changed. For
example I turned on the pretty soyo boot screen and choose save bios
settings. The PC turned off. I turned the pc on and had the turn on
issues... After a few tries it turned on and when i enter the bios I found
the ALI raid tool which I previously had disabled was suddenly enabled.

Anyone, anything? Should I just assume Soyo canned all there mobe staff
some time ago and I am SOL..... My KT600 ultra is doing so well, it had no
such problems with the same cpu & ram and is running fine with a 2400+ cpu
right now. If I don't turn the machine off it is fine.

No bios updates at all on there webpages..........

Please help!

Well I think I solved my own problem.

(Did some reading in soyo knowledge base and found reference to fan speed &
using certain fans.)

Well I am using a coolmaster heatsink which has a large fan on it. I
purchased the fan becaues it was quite.....

I plugged the AMD heatsink fan into cpufan1 and my still attached coolmaster
heatsink w/fan into cpufan2.

Reboot power off problem gone. BIOS change power problem gone. Incorrect
CPU temp reading... Still flakey, on a previous boot it was correct however
it is now reading 13c.

i use motherboard5 to monitor temps and the like. you will have to manually set it for the proper sensors.

cpu: sis950ate8705f-2

chipset: lm90 local

case: lm90 remote

i think we're gonna be stuck with the bios we have. the changing settings originate in the soyo combo/sys perf & oc section. either stay out of there or make your changes there first. then go and reset what ever spontaneously changes.
