HELP- New ECS L7S7A2 Mobo Install - No Video!!!

-Omen-

Golden Member
Hey guys, doing an install with a new ECS L7S7A2 mobo.
Had video throughout a couple of posts. It kept locking up on windows install.
Now I have NO video.😕
I have tried 2 different video cards, that work on other machines and the monitor on another machine - they all work.
Why do I suddenly have no video??? Causes, Ideas.... What can I do to fix this quick???
Appreciate the help in advance!

Specs: ECS L7S7A2 with 1 512mb PC3200 dimm
XP2100 with Volcano w/Coolmod
Radeon 9500 or Gf4200
Maxtor Hardrive, 1 DVD, 1 CDRW
Onboard Sound, onboard NIC, etc etc
 
Are you sure the videocards are seated correctly? Recheck to see if they're square in the slot(cheap cases can be out of square). Also your VGA cable might have an intermittent fault. If not any of those it could be a bad slot.
 
Tried 2 card, dont think they both got seated bad.
Its a brand new board, do you think it has a bad slot that would work the first few times, than die for no reason?
Not the cable, works perfect on another box...
Thanks for the response!
 
Clear the cmos, if necessary take out the battery and unplug the machine for a few hours. Also both of those video cards use plenty of power, make sure your power supply is up to the task. If you can boot to the bios check all your voltages, especially the cpu core voltage. I am running a 1.5v 1700+ t-bred "B"and my L7S7A2 detected the voltage as 1.4v at default. I had to close all the L11 bridges to get 1.70v, which should have been 1.85v. I tested with a 1200MHz Duron and it was correctly detected at 1.70v. Anyhow, now I can run 2300MHz at 1.70v or 2400MHz at 1.81v🙂
 
You should try going here:

Amdmb.com forum

If Killeroy at that site can not help you, than I do not think anyone can. Killeroy had the referance board and has posted alot of info on this board at that site. There is a heat sink guide, ECS L7S7A2 Vcore and Vmem mod guide, and more there.
