W2K and AMD756 chipset (MSI 6167)-Athlon

This is a discussion about W2K and AMD756 chipset (MSI 6167)-Athlon in the Windows Hardware category; I am using an AMD Athlon 500 and the MSI 6167 motherboard. Does anyone else have this config? I keep getting Blue Screened due to Power mgmt. Are their any drivers that anyone knows of? And it seems unusually slow, even slower than my Celery system.

The AMD Athlon was released when W2k was nearly finished. Don't expect that this combination will run without problems the coming 6 months or so.
As to speak in Murphy's law :

Goodluck.

The new Athlon motherboards require a lot more power than the older motherboards, which means that you have to get a new powersupply... Worked for me!
Good luck!

OP
I was hoping to see more help here. To see if I needed to load the Win98 drivers or what to get the PCI bridge to be recognized...something.
I have a higher power supply (300 watt), that is not the issue. Drivers are the issue. Has anyone else gotten the PCI bridge to load?
Thanks
