With the 120 gig connected it wont start on the button but needs the reset pushed 2 or 3 times, with it out it starts first time!

I have checked the jumpers and all are correct. It is definately not seeing a drive at first boot and hanging, but presumably the drive then comes on line for the second or... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (kenfowler3966) http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/sreply/3381 Thu, 04 Dec 2003 15:35:37 GMT http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/reply/3380/t/won-t-post-test-start-every-other-time.html#reply-3380

If your disk is a Western Digital, check the jumpers once more. WD's jumper system is different from everyone else.

It used to work perfectly with the previous 40gig drive, but that now resides in my sons computer to replace a drive that failed so I can't go back to it. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (kenfowler3966) http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/sreply/3378 Sat, 29 Nov 2003 05:51:55 GMT http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/reply/3377/t/won-t-post-test-start-every-other-time.html#reply-3377 natasrepleh:

My old K7S5A has developed this exact behavior too, but only when paired with certain power supplies. As long as I wait 20 or so minutes after shutting it down before I turn it on again, everything is fine. Warm reboots also works every time. It leads me to believe it has something to do with some capacitors (in the power supply or on the board) that need to be discharged before it can boot up.

If you... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Oken) http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/sreply/3377 Sun, 23 Nov 2003 06:21:05 GMT http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/reply/3376/t/won-t-post-test-start-every-other-time.html#reply-3376
It appears that the new 120gig drive has not spun up to speed before the motherboard tries to check it, so it skips it and thus no operating system is found. Various lights flash as other drives are checked.

If I then keep trying the reset button, eventually the drive is seen as it is now spinning correctly and the computer boots perfectly.

Is this an issue others have found and is there any... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (kenfowler3966) http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/sreply/3376 Sun, 23 Nov 2003 04:18:12 GMT http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/reply/3375/t/won-t-post-test-start-every-other-time.html#reply-3375
First, sorry for my bad English - im from Germany.
I have exact the same very very strange phenomenon with
my K7S5A, and i heard this problem from many
other K7S5A User. I dont know what the reason is!?
Maybe a damaged or dying Motherboard?
I try out everything i can do to fix this problem.
I only can fix it if i unplug the powercable of the PSU for
a few minutes. Afterwards i connect the powercable with
the PSU again, and i press the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Dance with K7S5A) http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/sreply/3375 Sat, 15 Nov 2003 06:03:39 GMT http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/reply/3374/t/won-t-post-test-start-every-other-time.html#reply-3374



Any beeps when you power on?
Try clearing CMOS
Check also seating of AGP card and any PCI cards,IDE cables,ATX connector etc,clean battery holder,check BIOS chip hasn't "crept" in socket.

Now I have this annoying problem,
When I turn on the system, I see and hear the cpu fan, hard drive, fans, run.
Blank screen, no post test.
I also see the cd-rom led blink as if it is trying to read, then go to an external zip drive and try to read, then the hard drive led, repeats .
Just sits there, taunting me.
Hit the re-set button.
Nothing. Still runs , blank screen, no... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (natasrepleh) http://k7s5amotherboardforum.yuku.com/topic/1070 Thu, 13 Nov 2003 11:12:18 GMT
