New ASUS A7V-E, 300W case, DURON 800, 64MB PC100. Installed only the CPU+FAN, RAM, PCI VGA, KB, and boot hangs on the first post screen. Can't even enter BIOS setup. The memory size is sometimes displayed and on few other attempts it was not. I bought the RAM over a year ago and it was rated...

Installed a new 8KTA3 + DURON 800 into a new 300W case. Plugged in 64MB PC100 SDRAM, PCI VGA card, and PS/2 keyboard. When I power up, I get the first post screen where the CPU and RAM are detected correctly, but then all hangs. The diagnostics code is 50. If I press DEL fast enough, it gets...

WinMe

Moved sound card to the next PCI slot, and it is assigned IRQ 9 by itself. Games are playing great, but DVD still hangs the system after a few min of playing. I turned off DMA for the DVD drive, but that didn'y help. The AGP card is ATI RAGE 128, and the player is ATI DVD 3.20. Any ideas why...

I am running WinMe on ECS K7VZM, and the AGP and PCI128 sound card are sharing IRQ 10. DMA enabled on my DVD drive. When I play a DVD movie, the sound starts to stuter at some point and the system hangs. Is the IRQ sharing got anything to do with it ? How can I force the sound card to use IRQ...

The old MB was SOYO 5EHM. If I install the 4in1 drivers one by one, the AGP and the ATAPI got installed, but the INF is the one causing the problem. Do I need the INF driver ? There is no onboard video on the K7VZM, just audio which is disabled and the LAN which I am using. Should I disable the...

Installed new MB & Athlon 900 cpu. Did not re-install the opsys which is WinMe. When I try to run the 4in1, it locks up after reaching 100%. Any ideas ?

I went out and bought a new ATHLON cooling fan + heatsink, and now the system powers up and I can get into the BIOS setup. I was able to isolate the reason for not being able to power up at all. If I connect a USB bracket into USB 3/4 head on the MB, the system will not power up. Does it make...

How do I know then if I have damaged the CPU or not ?

Removed and reset everything. Now I see a green light lit on the board itself, and when I press the power button, I breifly see the first screen where it displays the CPU type, and RAM size. The cpu I have installed is ATHLON 900MHZ. After 3 seconds the screen starts to blink, and I noticed...

Installed new board into a new case with only VGA and FLOPPY, and the system will not power up. its totaly dead. ATX power cable is in place, and power switch is also connected. How can I narrow down the problem ? Is it the MB or the case ? The board is ECS K7VZM, and the case is generic 300W...

Thanks. What is JP7 for ?

Can someone reply my last question ?

So how do you if a board is defective or not ? Is there also a problem with the non RAID version ?

Newegg just canceled my order for a MSI K7T-R, claiming the MB is defective and being recalled by MSI. Anyone heard anything about this, or they are bullshiting me ?
