i'm having some really strange problems with a system with this motherboard. at first, i thought a format and reinstall would solve the problem, but it did not. so then i tried to swap out the ram, no dice. changed video cards... same problem. swapped cpu... no luck. different power supply... nope. so now i am down to a bios flash. so i go to http://www.ecsusa.com/downloads/bios.html and look for a bios update, but it does not appear to have any updated bios for my mobo. they have k7s5a pcb 1.x, k7s5a2 pcb x.x, k7s5a+ pcb 1.0x, & k7s5a pro. am i supposed to use the bios for the "k7s5a pcb 1.x"? or do they not offer any updated bios for my mobo?
 
thanx for the tip clumsum 🙂 dang... i should've thought of that 😱

the problem was really wierd... after a clean install of the OS, i would still get windows errors when trying to access certain apps (ie - nero, aim, ws ftp). also i could never access paypal's website. it's always bitchin' about some cookies, but i and tried every possible cookie and security setting.

now this was about two months ago. it pissed me off to the point i just chucked it aside and wanted to forget about it. so today i dug it back up and decided to take another st@b at it. miraculously... no probs. so right now, i figured i would flash the bios and pray for the best in the future.
