Hej Renè
Jeg har haft samme problem. Her er historien:
Why does my system not boot with the Asus V7700 AGP Card?
It appears that ASUS have released several versions of this card. The
original card uses version 2.12 of the BIOS and has memory chips on only one
side of the card. This version works fine. The latest version of the card
using 2.14 of the BIOS, and also has memory chips on only one side of the
card, and also works fine. The problem appears to be with a version of the
card that ships with BIOS version 2.13 and has memory chips on both sides of
the card. These cards are known to cause problems on many motherboard (even
Asus motherboards!).
This problem can normally be resolved by raising the I/O voltage in the BIOS
to 3.4v and/or raising the AGP Driving Strength to EA or FF in the Advanced
Chipset Features of the BIOS. It has also been reported that flashing to
the 2.14 bios
available on the Asus web site (ftp page) solves the problem. Also see the
ABIT FAE advice. If these solutions do not work for you, you may wish to
return you card to Asus for a newer replacement - the fault appears to be
theirs.
One user warned me that despite the above advice, with his KT7 and Asus 7700
deluxe graphics card (BIOS revision 2.15.01.14), he still could not achieve
stability. He claimed that neither ASUS nor ABIT would accept
responsibility and advised users to stay clear of this graphics card until
the problem is resolved. My best guess is that the Asus 7700 must be
marginally compatible with the KT7, depending on the tolerances of the
particular components on each board. Hence the mixed reports of success.
Your choice.

Hopes this explains, I have the same combo. First KT7 then KT7A. The problem
was driving me nuts for over a month, but when I got the KT7A the problem
nearly disapeared. However, when it is cold in my "computerroom" I still
need to reset a couple of times.
I wrote this to Abit:
Dear Sir,
I write to You in the hope of a solution to my problem with The Abit
KT7-Raid Motherboard.
The Motherboard data:
1. Model: Abit KT7-RAID:
2. REV:1.02
3. Bios ID number: WW
Bios part number:6A6LMA19C
4. CD-Title Rev.No.: KT-1.10M, Floppy: Hot Rod 100 Pro v1.20
5. OS:Windows Millennium Edition
6. CPU:AMD ThunderBird 1GHz.
7.HDD: IBM GXP 75 45Mb 2pcs. RAID 0.
8. Pioneer 105S IDE1 Master; Plextor Burnproff IDE2 Master.
9. 256Mb Apacer, one module.
10. No add-on card at this time.
300W Power Supply
Monitor: AOC 9Glr
Other Motherboard data: KT7RTJL023028 ; 00500 86 3081-412
The videocard is an ASUS AGP-V7700 Deluxe GeForce 2 GTS 32 Mb.
Problem:
When i try to use the above videocard the PC will not boot up, i.e. nothing
appear on the monitor. The speaker indicates some "beeps".
I have tried 3 different videocards as the above and 2 different types of
Your motherboard, nothing helpes.
I have tried ASUS AGP-V6800 GeForce 256 DDR and this works fine.
The strange thing is that when I have used the PC with the ASUS AGP-V6800
for a while and then quick change the videocard to the ASUS AGP-V7700 the PC
boots up
fine.
I.e when the motherboard has been "pre-heated" it can work with the ASUS
AGP-V7700, but it
cannot boot up from cold (cold-boot from a room temperature of 20 degrees
Celcius).
If You have a solution for this problem I would be happy.
If You need further information do not hesitate to contact me.
The only answer I got was this:

That didn´t solve much!
