Try to get the G400 and SB16 emulation swapped around. G400 should be on 9 or higher, and SB16 has always wanted to be on 5.

Is your AGP divsor set to 2/3 as it should be?

Does it still happen if you are not o/cing the processor 150%?

What about with 5.30 or 5.41 drivers? Beta drivers are usually beta for stability reasons.

Hey Kruzin...do I hafta chage my IRQ for my
G400??...its on 5 now but I have no problems
with anything on my system....also i do have
SB16 emulation not loaded when I boot up...
its for Dos only I understand.

I have changed IRQ from 5 to 9, I am sure that my AGP divsor set to 2/3. It still happens if I set my cpu @300. Also I have tried with 5.30 and 5.41 drivers, but my computer still hang up when I click on "use bus mastering"

Try swapping your Yamaha card and SB Live card for each-other's slots. Also, make sure that you are running Liveware 3.0, and while you have your case open, press your G400 into it's slot real hard, sometimes it can be a bugger to get seated. Your AGP aperture should also be set to 128 or 256 on the BH6, it seems to work best for me that way.

Caprice-
If it's working right, there is no reason to mess with it.

Allen-
Check that the card is properly seated. Abits and G400s often have a hard time seating right. Even if it looks good, check it. Many people have to bend the rear bracket a bit to get it lined up right...

does the card seating issue effect the ABIT BE6 too?
im gettin another soon and i want to be prepared. So do i just make sure i push it in firmly. And if it is seated wrong what would the syptoms be?

[Allen]

I have set the AGP aperture size to 128mb,
and I am sure that my G400 is properly seated
Also I have swapped my Yamaha card and SB Live card for each-other's slots. I am running Liveware 3.0, but it still hang up

OK before we get technical.

Clock your processor back to default and see what happens.
