I just got a new processor an AMD XP 2600. I tried to put it on the
motherboard but when I start my computer, it doesn't find my new processor.
Probably my bios cant handle the new processor.
When I look at my bios it says, for the processor settings only 133/133 Mhz

First, thanks for the feedback on the other post... it may just be the power
supply.
I am replacing the power supply on a budget, but... I also want to have
enough umpffff for future budget upgrades (looking toward XP2600 or 3000,

Hello... this is not the other poster I see oddly posting a similar question
on the same day. Similar, but not the same.
I am still running that v3.1 with a Duron 1.3 and 2 128M SDRAM sticks.
The board has always run pretty fair w the exception of the time I tried to

I have some computers with a k7s5a motherboard and cpu AMD 1800+. Although
wol is enabled in bios, I can not start up the pc from an other one. I found
a connector on the mb, but this seems to connect an other nic to the mb. I
am using Magic Packet, perhaps this program doesn't work ...

I have a K7S5A Pro Mainboard and have been having problems with the
FSB/Memory settings in the most recent version of the CheepoBIOS.  I
have one stick of PNY Optima DDR400 CL2 in my system and when I select
133/166 for FSB/DRAM My system won't POST, forcing me to clear the

My Godchild's computer started to smoke.  She sent it to me.  I got
the PC to start and noticed that indeed the MOBO was frying just to
the USB side of the CPU.
I have gone on the Web to try and find a good replacement MOBO.  This

Can anyone help me here.  I want to run the cpu at overclock mode and at top
mhz.  When I set this in bios, and reboot, it gets as far as the splash
screen, and then reboots.  Whats the likely cause of this, and how do I fix
it?  I'm a newbie and would appreciate help.

I suspect that my (CMOS) battery in my K7S5A is going; I've had Windows XP
freeze solid roughly once a day for the last several days. The CPU Fan
Speed, System Temp, and CPU Temp all seem reasonable so I'm guessing it's
the battery.

I have a problem with the AGP on my k7s5a.
In my device mangler, I don't have the AGP drivers installed, just the
PCI-to-PCI bridge. So I update this driver, install the latest SiS AGP
Driver (117e) and reboot. However on rebooting, I have screen

hi guys, does anyone know how to auto power up without using the power
switch connected to the mainboard?  i tried using different Bios versions
but cannot find one that suits this problem!  is there something physically
that i can do to auto power this up instead of going thru bios

I'm looking for information on the cpu fan included with this motherboard.
How loud is it supposed to be?  Is it a reliable fan or should I upgrade?
Thanks

This is very strange. I'm working on a friend's computer which has an
Athlon XP 1600+ running on a K7S5A. The CPU settings in the BIOS had
been set up wrong (100/100 instead of 133/133), so he's been running at
1050MHz for as long as he's had this computer. When I change the BIOS ...

I have this board and after installing a NIC (onboard died) I found I
no longer have video.  I tried installing an ATI Radeon 9600 pro and I
still have no video.  There are no beep codes during post so I haven't
clue.  The only really odd behaviour I'm noticing is that the CD

When I turn my K7S5A based system on the XP slpash screen appears with the
moving bar but after a few seconds after it checks the CD ROM's it reboots and
just keeps doing this. It does this when I try safe mode, last good config. Is
there some way to correct this

I have a new K7VTA3 MB with 333mhz FSB
CPU temperature sensor is fine but the case tempurature is running crazy.
My CPU, core voltages are accurate but my +12 an -12 are low.
I have verified that all voltages are normal with my voltmeter at the power supply plug and HD/CD ...
