Oh wow . another A7V8X-MX or A7V8X-MX SE i suppose .
Well .
- SMPS is the first culprit . dont go for just rating of 350w on top . My Zebronics 350w kept going kaput all the time . the zebronics service ENGINEER himself said , ratings come in 2 stickers and one is bogus and i have to go for 400w . Reason i went for 350w in the first place was koz my initial 300w wasnt enuf . anyways . try techcoms 350w or higher supply . Run the sys on minimum , ie , no cdrom and other additional drives , fans , cards and check ur voltage in bios hardware monitor .
- Which bios is running on ur system ? try updating with awd flash program and not the windows app they have given .
- Post seldom gives a beep for me , unless there are errors . try removing ur ram and switch it on and u will get beep errors .
- Most troublesome prob with this board , koz of via is , it starts , stops within 5 seconds and then restarts normally . Via forums says this is normal way of testing in the M/B and it wont affect other parts . Sounds more like m/b has obsessive compulsive disorder (osd) .
- Check if ur manual to see if ur DIP switch is set to the right clock speed , ie , 166 . Check manufacturers site too . asus actually has a case where they misprinted the settings .
- check if ur panel connectors (leds) from cabinet are connected correctly to the m/b , check (+) and (-) . usually the written end of the connector face outwards .
hdd prob could be coz of bad controller . try running ur hdd in secondary and cdrom/dvd in primary . Disable UDMA for cdrom/dvd and let it run only on dma
- Check correct jumpers given on hdd , cdrom etc .
- Make sure ur cabinet panel were u place ur M/B is even . even that might cause problems .
- Change the Bios battery . most just drain while being in stock
- if going in for a flash , get ur friends or old sys pci video card to update . thats the only way to recover from bad flash , use sony floppy .
- sometimes the plate they give for the back of the cabinet with all the holes for keyboard mouse and all makes the connectors losen up
- In acpi settings , change an option to s1 or s3 and see which one works better .
- Enable assign irq to video
- check temperature of the m/b in bios
- make sure ur "clear bios " jumper isnt on the "shorted" pins . Misprints there too
Hope this is enuf for now . if u need more , will post . Try the simple steps first and give the output and then to the flashing and other stuff . If possible try running the m/b outta the cabinet , under a fan . Try getting an smps with intake fan at the bottom . SMPS getting overheated can cause probs too . Else an outtake fan just below the smps would do .
Give more specs , like cabinet brand and other stuff . Including ram specs and hdd , cdrom
check viaarena.com forums for more such probs and solutions . or just search in teoma.com
