Please Recommend Motherboard for G200 Marvel & Live!
I have spent the last year trying to get my new computer working with an Asus P2B, Marvel G200 (AGP), and Soundblaster Live!. My problem is that when both the G200 and the Live! card are inserted, my monitor (Sony 200ES)goes into energy-saver mode as soon as the power is turned on and the computer locks. After reading every messege remotely connected to my problem and trying everything else (including a new, large power supply, and playing musical IRQ assignments) I have decided that my Asus P2B must be the problem.
Can someone recommend a board that will work with these two boards? I have a PII, 350Mhz with 64meg of memory. I also need at least 4 PCI and 2 ISA slots. My other boards are not part of the problem since I get the same results after stripping the motherboard of everything except the two cards.
After looking around the net, I am interested in the Abit BE6 motherboard if it works, but am willing to settle with just about any motherboard that will get these two cards working. I figure it is cheaper to replace the motherboard than to replace either my Marvel or Live! Besides, those are the two cards I really want in a computer.
