I've checked all the jumpers and BIOS setting. I'm pretty sure the setting
is fine. As for the power issue, I'll investigate a little more. From the
hardware monitor, the power level seems to be OK even
when I'm doing some CPU intensive job. The CPU temperature is quite
reasonable all the time, never exceeded 40C. It hangs when I left it in text
mode doing noting. I have a 300W power supply coming to substitute the
current 250W one, I'll see what happens. One thing I don't like is that the
AGP slot, AIC-7880 and the 4th PCI slot always use the same irq, which I
have no control over. The BIOS always gives this no matter how I set it. Of
course there are unused irq's. BTW, the AGP doesn't have an entry in
/proc/interrupts. I don't know if irq sharing can cause any problem. With my
old PII, it works fine.
