ok...i got a ecs k7s5a motherboard. its the 3rd one i have ever had. I got this one as a newegg refurb. I installed a xp1800+ and get nothing....not even a beep. then shut it off, and try to restart it, but get no power, just the fan turns 1/4 turn.

i put a duron 600 cpu...actually 2 of em and they both boot but i get CMOS memory size error or something. can repeatedly reboot if i wish, havent tried to hook hd, cd, floppy yet.

i put the xp back in, it gets power...but no boot screen. after i turn it off the fans turn 1/4 turn again and have to reset cmos again. I do not get any beeps when any of this happens.

bottom line the duron works, the xp doesnt...i dont know for sure the duron works in windows but it does boot to bios screen.


do i have a bad CPU or MOBO? maybe my xp isnt supported by the ECS board?


hope I didnt just waste yer time.
 
1) make sure the cpu fan is in the correct header.
2) If so, use the 600 duron, boot the computer, and update to the latest bios, then try the XP1800.
3) What is your power supply like ? That motherboard loves clean power.

Reply back with results.
 
will try the bios after last result....never liked messin with flashing bios....heard to many stories...been scared ever since.

edit, fan is on correct header. the power supply is brand New Antec 300 watt smart power. thanx for the help 🙂

anyone else? just lookin for opinions here 🙂. I can RMA the board.
 
New development. I just put an xp 1600+ in the board and it booted to the bios..unformatted drive, just had the cpu for testing reasons....didnt have much time to use it. Now is my 1800+ dead or is my power supply not powerful enoughg? as far as heatsink fan goes....it is rated for xp220+ arrrrrrrrrrrrrg....CPU dead? I hope not cuzz I bought it last month from these forums and no way I can say hey! that cpu u sold me 39 days ago is dead...lol
