The Abit KV7-V motherboard is incompatible with the Athlon XP 2900 processor, leading to system crashes characterized by a blank screen and no beeps before Windows 98 loads. The user experienced this issue despite using a 400-watt power supply and new PC3200 memory. The problem was resolved independently, and it is advised against pairing the KV7-V with an Athlon XP CPU. Instead, the KV7-V motherboard is likely to function properly with a Sempron processor.
