HELP K7s5a pro & Duron 1.3

Hi,

I have just purchased the above and I have set the system up. But when I
boot I get nothing no beep no video no nothing.
I have tried my althon Axia (1GHz) cpu, which it said was running at 750MHz
in the m'board and it worked fine.
What could the problem be. Do I need to set some jumper?? or should it work
fine out of the box???

Thanks
satpal

what psu do you have? 250/300/350 it could be not enough power. or try
clearing your cmos and doing a bios update..

I have a 250watt power supply which should be enough, as the moment its only
running a gfx card, cpu fan, cpu, and hd.
I have tried clearing the bois with no luck. To do a bios update I would
change the cpu to my old althon which I would rather not do

When it booted with my old CPU I did 2 error msgs:
1) CMOS wrong size
2) another to do with CMOs but I can;t remember.


Thanks

I said your Axia 1Ghz was running at 750 because the clock speed had
dropped back to 100 from 133.

The CMOS wrong size message sounds like either you were successful in
flashing the bios, or that your board is aflicted with the infamous
K7S5A "lost cmos" problem.

The Duron should work fine out of the box, but not if you plug it in
to a board running at 133 clock speed. That will give you a blank
screen and no post, 'cos the duron runs at 100. It wasn't that, was
it?

Not done anything to the Bios at all, so must be infamous "Lost cmos"
problem. How do I correct this.

the m'board setting haven;t been changed in anyway. So if my axia was
running at 750 cus the m'board was at 100Mhz then the duron should run on
the same board.
The only other thing I can think of is the PSU, which is 250watt and it's a
pretty good one. before I retired it it was running a machine with loads of
stuff it, eg 2 case fans, 4 usb device, gfx card, network card 2 hds, dvd,
cdrw floppy without any problem.

Thanks

Pull power cord out.Clear CMOS.
Re-boot and enter BIOS and set correct CPU and FSB settings.

I would love to set the CPU and FSB but I can't get to the bios, because
when I boot up I don't get any output from the gfx card.

Thanks

: As above clear CMOS correctly.
: Remove graphics card and re-insert firmly.If this is an AGP card it
: must"Click"into place so the locking tabs secure it.
:

I have 3 K7S5A boards and none of them have locking tabs on the agp
slot.

The Rev 3.1 boards have locking tabs, the Rev 1.0 ones don't.

But the K7S5A PRO board, the model asked about DOES.
