Pretty nice. I have one of those boards in the closet. Decent no frills board.

I changed the HDD to on Maxtor DiamondMax 80GB and installed Windows XP.
I plan buy a new Athlon XP 2400+ because it was the original CPU on this computer but it has fried itself to death.
But thank you for the comment, the A7V8X-X is kind of working but sometimes when i power on the pc i hear a sound like one geiger counter then i need to shutdown and power on again and the BIOS says that overclock failed, but its running on the factory clock 🤣
Maybe i will be able to record the sound and post.

It only happens when its unplugged from the power for a period at least for 15 minutes or more.

It kinda sounds like some mechanical issue, like a harddrive, FDD or an optical drive. Could also be some relay or something? Could even be a cable getting into the blades of a fan, though I'd doubt this would be the case in your case.

If you want to find out what it is, one way is to take off all panels off of the case, boot your rig and listen.

I have one of those boards, they are really stable and well behaved. I installed a weaker video card than that, a ECS SiS 315e 64 MB, it was the only board I had at the time that would drive that card. It worked like a champ and I still have all those parts packed together now. I'm sure I'll rebuild it one day.
