Thanks, I did check connections. I even just unplugged everything but Video and HD. Same thing. I have cleared the CMOS, and no change. I have timed the memory down to 133 and it isn't that. It would seem like the board, but three of them all acting the same way? I think it is me, but I am out...

AMD Athlon XP 2200+ MSI K7N2G-L Corsair CMX512-2700C2PT (tried OCZ and Kinston as well) WD800 (tried two of these) Cyberdrive 40/16/48 (tried anotehr 56X CD-ROM) Antec case w/SL300S PS (tried SL350) It posts, but very very slow, and will not complete setup. It fails to recognise the HD after...

Same problem - 3 boards deep. I have RMA one already, and have a my second and third here. AMD Athlon XP 2200+ MSI K7N2G-L Corsair CMX512-2700C2PT (tried OCZ and Kinston as well) WD800 (tried two of these) Cyberdrive 40/16/48 (tried anotehr 56X CD-ROM) Antec case w/SL300S PS (tried SL350) It...

Matrox G550 Dual head I have been using Matrox cards in my systems for years and have always loved them. I am not a gammer, and I use GForce cards for all other systems. I would be tempted to try a dual head GForce if I were you. If I could get a dual head GForce and a PCI GForce so I could run...

Yes! I am typing this from my sofa using... Hitachi Ultravision HDTV 53" ATI 8500 DV (I hope to find a way to sync the audio/video of the TV Tuner) SB Audigy 2 Platnum w/Digital output into my Denon AV receiver Abit MB w/KT333 chipset Athlon 2000+ 512 DDR 80 GB HD You will not want to read a...

I am currently experiencing this problem using memory from OCZ. I had to clock the memory down to 266 Mhz and a latency of 2 to resolve the issue. This sucks cause i purchased this board and memory to pick up the performance of the 333/2. I don't know if it is the mainbord or the memory, but I...

I know this thread is long dead, but would you folks stop it with the power supply answer to this board. A good number of these boards are crap! I know you have not had any problem with yours. You are lucky. Buying the board is a crap shoot! And hey! It ain't the PSU! My working K7S5A boards...

For anyone still reading this thread, I wanted to chime in on the ECS K7S5A and the number of bad boards. I built a system with this board when it first came out. All was well and the price is right. I ordered 6 more for systems for my customers. 5 out of 6 were DOA. I replaced the boards a...

Hi! I understand. I was much more specific in my previous post a day or so before. Thanks for the memory tip. I will try replacingthe memory and see how it goes. I do find it odd that Shuttle has NO TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION IN THE MANUAL. The online or printed version. I have used these...

Hi! I already asked this, but I am shocked there is no response. A Single long beep on this motherboard without booting after it did boot twice. Any clue what this means? Why does the mainboard manual (online or print) not include a troubleshooting chart telling me what this means? Has nobody...

I have a friend with a bad system board, and I wouldn't know where to begin to look for one of these boards. Any help? <font color=red><i>such madness</i></font color=red>

Unfortunatly I had very similer problems AND MORE with the ECS K7S5A mainboard. Almost all the ones I have used have problems like you described, or they turn off and on by themselves. They do this even without any expansion cards, and Enermax 350 PS (or is it 360?). Plain and simple. These...

I am sorry to say that your board is bad. I have 6 of these and there is no bios update or other sys config that will solve it. Please ppl, stop recomending this motherboard. It is a real nice board, but the majority of them I recieved were nothing but problems. <font color=red><i>such...

Brand new USR PCI Controller-based faxmodem. Couldn't install the drivers. I am reinstalling the OS now. I can't believe I am having all this trouble. <font color=red><i>such madness</i></font color=red>

I just tried with brand new ZOOM modems from NewEgg.com and they won't even install. I can't get any support for them either. I guess I have to buy external modems. I am going to try a retail USR non Windows modem. I will let you know how I make out. Brian <font color=red><i>such...
