Cannot update BIOS

feeds@yuku.com (paliakos) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 13:47:23 GMT

Hello to all

Im trying to "refresh" a friend's old PC with a K7S5A motherboard on and an AMD 1800+. The Bios version already installed is since 2001 so I thought it would be better to update it and ofcourse try to tweak it a bit. Unfortunately it was impossible to find a way and complete the update proceedure. I folowed the instructions carefuly, I'm getting into seing the contents of my floppy, i type aminf342 030811.rom and i'm getting the message that...

Wont boot. Stuck on Post.

I recently updated my bios to 031108. Because my machine stopped recognizing my amd 2400+ processor. Now when it boots it beeps once and stops at checking NVRAM. It aslo wont allow me to hit esc to stop checking ram. I originally had 2 sticks of 512 mb ram pc2700, I went to 1 stick of 1gb pc2700 ram. No change. I went back to my original adm 1100 processor. No dice. My sytem as it sits is;
amd athalon 1100
350 watt power supply
250 mb graphics card

No Boot after Switching Out CPU

feeds@yuku.com (amir) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 22:37:16 GMT

Hi everyone. I'm glad I've come across this board. It's been really helpful so far.

I have a k7s5a Ver 1.x. Today I got an Athlon XP 2000 in the mail. I upgraded the bios using HoneyX and booted up, everything worked fine. I did notice one of the pins was bent on the new CPU, so I bent it back upright. I then replaced my old Athlon with this one, applied the thermal compound, and put the heatsink back on. However, when I went to boot up, the fans turned on (including...

New RAM No Power

feeds@yuku.com (vpone) — Fri, 08 May 2009 08:02:40 GMT
Hi, I hope theres still some activity around these parts.

Ive just dusted down my old but reliable PC and purchased some RAM.
Kingston DDR-RAM 1GB CL2.5 333MHZ PC2700,
I know that I can only use 266MHZ but I understand that RAM is backward compatible.
I also believe that the max for this MB is 1 GB of RAM so I removed the 128MB Infineon SDRAM and slot the 1GB stick in.
Now when I try to power her up I get nothing no lights, no fan, nothing, I swap the ram about...

runnig at 657MHZ

feeds@yuku.com (sanozuke) — Mon, 04 May 2009 17:32:56 GMT
I have 2 problem's my x-honey bios, does not detect the hd, and more important the Amd Sempron 2000 MHZ, it's running at 657MHZ, acording to sysinfo, and it's very slow; i'm using a live cd linux knoppix; is the some command like:
sudo install viagra on cpu, and it runs at 2000Mhz.
The frequency is correct, but the processor got knock via ip, some wizard from the net!!!?!!!

Athlon MP 1800+

feeds@yuku.com (KVUGNG) — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:53:10 GMT
I'm trying to get an Athlon MP 1800+ running at it's rated 1.6Ghz but when I change the bus speed to 133/133 it won't post. It'll run at the 100/100 setting but then it's only going 1150 Mhz. I've had an Athlon MP 1600+ running at 133/133 just fine. If I have to knock the RAM speed down to 100 (it's PC2700) then it's not what I'd call an 'upgrade'.

I have CheepoMan's last BIOS running on the board. Is there a different modded BIOS...

Does the CheepoMan BIOS enable SSE?

Change small POST screen AMI logo?

feeds@yuku.com (KVUGNG) — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:08:50 GMT
I've already changed the fullscreen boot logo, no problem with AMIBCP. (Getting a useable PCX file out of Photoshop CS2 was more difficult.)

To complete the "Portal" makeover I want to replace the small AMI logo with the Aperture Science logo and the copyright text with GLaDOS (C) 1986-2007

I've put the Aperture Science logo in the middle of the fullscreen boot logo screen and changed the text on it for entering setup to Enter Enrichment Center and hide...

What cpu?

feeds@yuku.com (macholizard) — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:20:36 GMT

I just got back into the computer thing after a slight hiatus and I was wondering something. I have the K7S5a mobo running at a Athlon XP at 1261.3 mhz. I wanna clock it higher for game. Exspecially Quake ET and some others. I either want to overclock it to about 2.0 or get another cpu. How can I do this safely and if I do get another cpu what one would you guys recommend? Thanks.

Hey guys!
I was using the onboard sound of my K7S5A, when i had to mess on the cables that connects the output to the speakers, but i accidentaly touched the tip of the plugs and i was barefoot, then i felt a weak shock.
I didnt cared about the shock so i pluged in the speakers normally, but for my suprise, i didnt got sound anymore..... only a low humming.
The board still works properly, it boots, reboots normally with no problem.
So looks like only the onboard output is...

Hey guys, I know I'm fairly new around here but I'm not a newbie to computers. I've had this motherboard for a few years and just recently I want to put on the max processor I can for this to work a bit better.
I do have 1 gig of ram already, but I want to see if I can put on a xp2400+ or possibly a xp2600+ processor.

I used a program to gather as much information on my motherboard as I can but I still don't know where to start about flashing it.
