K7S5A v3.1 + Ati 128 Ultra 32m = problem
Ive got a problem with my ("new") Ati video card. It doesnt work with my
motherboard. When I turn my PC on nothing happens, there is no signal to my monitor (it doesnt try to start the boot sequence) . If my monitor is powered off and then I turn my PC - PC starts.. but system still fails to detect the card.. when I reboot again, problem isnt solved.. (I'm sure the card is not defective, it works with another motherboard (MSI K7N2-Delta, and my K7S5A works with another video cards (Riva TNT2 or GeForce 4 MX440SE) where is the problem? is it posible that they cant work together? |

That's weird, but I've had that combo running at one time (at least with a 1.x K7S5A) so I don't think it's an incompatibility. Not sure what to advise though other than the old technique of stripping the machine down to the motherboard, video board, power supply, one stick of ram, keyboard, and power switch and seeing if that fixes the problem, if so then go on from there adding things back until it breaks. -- -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

There are a bunch of different versions of the K7S5A. I've run into a
problem on a version 5 board, the newest one I built up. It would not run with a GeForce 4 board. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I just got around it by installing a different card. My first reaction would be to see if there is a BIOS update available for the board. didymus7 Ive got a problem with my ("new") Ati video card. It doesnt work with my motherboard.

Are you 100% sure you are getting the card seated in the AGP slot? I have had that happen twice, for some reason the ATI card was a lot harder to seat in my ECS MB then the prior AGP card I had. |
