Okay, I am 4 for 2 with ECS mobos. I've had good luck with 4 K7S5A boards. The only other bad experience I've had was with an L4VXA2. I decided to give a K7VTA3 a try, but it's not working. The system won't boot at all.
I know I've connected all the front panel pins correctly. I've even tested it with known good power supplies, memory, and video cards. It's stripped down to the bare minimum, no peripherals or anything. The jumpers are on the correct setting. The CPU fan spins. I feel a little heat from the HSF, but not amazingly hot.
What happens when I turn the power on is that the front LED lights turn on solid, the CPU and video card fans spin, but nothing else. What could be the problem?
ECS is known for rather tight (if not cheap) memory slots. Make sure the memory is seated correctly, and that the CMOS battery is likewise making contact. Be careful and support the board correctly and work the memory in and out of its slot a couple times while not flexing the board too much. Recheck all the other, IDE connectors. Also, clear the CMOS and make sure the CMOS jumper is in the correct position.
OK I have done everything. My MoBo is reading 768mb of ram. My HD works, My VC works... Ive checked connections, and jumpers. Ive cleared CMOS and still BSoD...
Help Me somebody... :P
I have an ECS K7VTA3 motherboard that had the same type of problem. It would not boot up or post with an ATI Radeon AIW 8500DV video card, but works fine with a Geforce4 ti4200 video card. Go figure....
Problem has been resolved already. (Btw, I made sure that it was in the Normal position.)
