travisio: Using the Dr. DOS program and a clean disk, all that should be on the floppy are the files that I listed? Is there a way to check if those other files ARE there? Your problem ("MAMA ALWAYS SAID "Learn from the mistakes of others" - Forest Gump....sorry) is just the one I had in mind...

I have read the Shuttle ak31 rev 3.1 topic and found it to be very helpful. I have the AK31 rev 3.1 mobo and an Athlon XP1600+ due in from Newegg this week. IF the mobo needed to be flashed to recogonize the new proc, I want to be sure that I am doing it correctly. Please correct me if make a...

I just ordered the Shuttle AK31 rev.3.1 mobo along with an AMD XP1600+ from Newegg. Should be here early next week. I have read all the posts about the mobo that I could find, and see that the BIOS needs to be flashed to get the mobo to recognize the proc. Question#1 : Is this still true with...

Check the floppy cable. I think that the floppy cable will actually fit even if it backwards/upside down, i.e. the pin 1 red stripe is on the wrong side. The floppy will power up and the "busy" light will remain on. Sadly, this is from personal experience. Good Luck! Dave

Thanks for the info. Dave

Just checked the Crucial site and they don't list DDR memory for the the version of the Shuttle AK31 mobo. There online techs are all busy. Is the memory for v1 and v2 the same? thanks in advance Dave

Is it possible to test a motherboard to see if it functioning without a proc and memory installed? I have a Soyo SY-K7VIA Slot A mobo that I am not sure it is getting power. I want to see if the mobo itself is getting power. If I plug in the case and jumper the green wire and a black wire, the...

Will a Slot A TBird 800 and Asus K7V RM work together? Will there be problems or should it be stable?

I just picked up an Antec SX830 case and have recently completed installing all the parts. However, when I connect the power cord to the case and then to the outlet, as well as the connector to the MOBO, nothing happens. No fans, no POST, nada. If I jumper the green wire and a black wire from...

Setscrew: Thanks for the tip. The fan DOES run when jumpered. So that means the PSU is okay? Which must mean that the Mobo is junk, right? Also: what did you mean about "disconnect both power connectors from the motherboard"? I only have the 20 pin (???) connector hooked up?

I just picked up an Antec SX830 case and have recently completed installing all the parts. However, when I connect the power cord to the case and then to the outlet, as well as the connector to the MOBO, nothing happens. No fans, no POST, nada. Any ideas or suggestions. Soyo SY-K7VIA AMD...
