Well Acid .. the K7M is a might mare of patches and drivers. I have to ask if
you installed the IDE driver and the MiniPort driver from the CD or from ASUS
down load site.
In the event that you did, did the Device Manager give you a clean bill of
health?
I assume that the you set up the BIOS in such a way as to not push the memory
speed and stayed with 100MHz CPU/Memory speed.

I am currently working with a 700MHz Athlon with this board. My BIOS, btw, is
from American Megatrends, Inc. The chip set is the AMD 751 and the VIA 82C686A.
I am missing the boat somewhere because this board and my configuration of
software does not run as well as my old Socket7 350MHz K6-2 as far as Sandra can
tell.

However,  it is does not plague me with Invalid Page Defaults. These defaults
are usually caused by one program getting into another programs space. I would
go to the ASUS site and search for the latest drivers. I would not load
Office2000 until you feel very good about stability.
Lets talk,
Jim
