When I set the processor to 133 to get the full speed of the 2400, Windows
XP loads shows the desktop and then hangs while it is loading god knows
what.  I did a clean install on a bare drive and still had this problem.  At
100 the bios lists the processor as an XP 1800 and XP loads ...

I purchased Fry's special K7VTA3 8.0C and Duron 1.6G.
No matter how hard I tried, I could not get this combo
to pass Prime95 past 40 to 45 minutes.  It would

I have my computer with a K7s5a (version 1.0) with AMD Athlon 1.2 g  running
for 2 years now (24/7), and since a couple of weeks I have this problem with
stopping just like that.
When I put the cpu-speed back to 900 mhz (133 to 100 mhz) , then the problem

Does anyone have the USB pinout for K7VTA3 please?
The wires I have from the 2 ports at the front of my case are as follows

I had a perfectly fine running system with and ECS K7S5A (with 2 sticker on
the motherboard), Athlon XP 2000+, 256Mb DDR266 Apacer, 400W PSU, Geforce
4MX 440 AOPEN, HP writer and LG cd-rom.
I mostly leave my system on overnight.

I currently use (2) PC2100 256MB sticks on my K7S5A PRO.
I was thinking of replacing one stick with a 512MB, giving total memory to
768MB.
Does the K7S5A PRO work well with different size memory sticks (DDR slots) ?

I know this is an old MB but I'm trying to put a 120Gig drive on it
but it just take it. My bios is 2.2e.

My motherboard is a K7S5A PRO (5.0)
and using Windows XP home, with latest updates.
In device manger I have listed "VIA ver 5 or later USB Universal Host
Companion Controller"

lights alternately. No video.
I had set the CPU Speed at the wrong speed in the CPU PnP Setup Page. I must
have changed it to a speed that is incompatible with this CPU? Worked ok

   Will the 1.6 Duron Applebred run OK on the ECS K7S5A-Pro?  Will it run
with PC133 SDRAM, or does it NEED DDR?   I already have DDR PC 3500 & PC133,
both removed in upgrades, but would rather 'use up' the PC133.  Thx, sdlomi2

   I'm putting together a new system with a K7S5A-Pro. Would like to have
it ready to accept an upgraded cpu later on (prolly going w/a 1.6 Duron

Honey-X and a Cheepo bios available?  Any others?  Which ...
