I've got Elitegroup K7S5A, Duron 1GHz and I've bought GeForce 4 MX 440SE. The first card I had didn't work at all so I gave it back and they sent me a new one but after some time (2 weeks) my system was hanging up almost every 3min. I've also sent this card back. Now I've got XFX GeForce4 MX440-SE and the problem is back. I have no idea what to do... for now, I'm using my old I740 <img src="http://media.hardwareanalysis.com/smilies/smile4.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=";)" title=";)"> text/html 2003-01-30T01:45:44-05:00 David Greer http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/2984/#20648 I've had the same kind of problem with my Promise controller card, except I have a Sapphire Radeon 9000 Pro. I tried moving the controller to different slots, bios changes, and flashing the mobo bios. Nothing has worked. I have a Tyan Slot-1 mobo that I have it installed in. I moved the Promise and the Radeon to my other computer, a Soyo SuperSocket-7 mobo and it worked fine. Don't know who's at fault. text/html 2002-10-09T22:41:19-05:00 Valcrist DeathKnight http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/2984/#0 For starters i have:<br /> <br /> Athlon XP 1800+<br /> ECS K7S5A MB<br /> Enlight Corp 300w AMD and P4 Certified<br /> 2 128 SDram<br /> NEC CD-RW 24x10x30x<br /> LiteOn DVD 16x<br /> Quantum Fireball 8GB<br /> Western Digital 800jb 80GB<br /> Western Digital 1200jb 120GB (not installed because of my problem)<br /> Generic 56K modem<br /> ATI TV Wonder Value Edition<br /> Soundblaster Live! Value<br /> Promise Ultra TX2 ATA100 controller card (not installed because of my problem)<br /> <br /> Windows XP Pro<br /> Latest ECS Bios<br /> Latest Nvidia Bios<br /> Latest drivers on all part.<br /> (i just downloaded everything at this date)<br /> <br /> now for my problem would be, everytime i install the ATA controller card<br /> with my GF4 card, my computer refuse to boot up. it makes 6-8 beeps, meaning the motherboard couldn't detect my AGP card. i double checked, make sure i properly secured the cards and boot up again. It still makes the beeps. i removed the controller card and the computer booted up fine. i replaced the GF4 card with a PCI Matrox Mystique, installed the controller card and booted fine.<br /> <br /> i was wondering if it is a power supply problem, so i disconnected everything. the HDs, optical drives, soundcard, modem, tv tuner.<br /> all was left was the GF4 card and the ATA100 controllercard, still refuse to boot.<br /> <br /> maybe its the drivers. i downloaded the newest AGP drivers from ECS website, the newest ATA100 controllercard from promise. still no luck<br /> <br /> maybe its the bios. i flashed my MB bios, the 020809L.rom bios i think. i flashed my GF4 card bios which can be found anywhere. still no luck!!!!!<br /> <br /> so i've decided it may be my GF4 card maybe incompatible with the Promise Ultra100TX2 so in the future, i decided to buy a better vid card.<br /> i haven't tried any AGP cards yet other than mine so i will try that in the future. I've read most of the replies in this forum and i say that this K7S5A has alot of problem issues. maybe it wasn't a good idea getting this type of MB.<br />
