From: Eric on 13 Jan 2009 17:38 ECS K7S5A. I have this motherboard in the closet. It is notorious for having bulging capacitors near the VRM. Usually it is Gluzon and or Ost-brand capacitor. Make sure they are good before you add more ram. You can find the bios from ECS website. There are few different revisions for the board, so make sure you got the right one. The revision number is near the mouse port. Some of the K7s5a has lan, and some don't, so be sure you got the right one

This is a NG. Very few controls/restrictions if any; and you are NOT in a position to dictate what can be posted/asked. For me; being a "Troll" is a compliment. Thanks

Same reason you are. But I started it because you think that you can dictate to someone what they can and can't post. Wrong! I subscribe to several Ng's and I lurk and I don't post much; but I just love jumping on idiots like you that think they are in control; when in fact they aren't. Some one asks a simple question, looking for some help; and a idiot like you takes the effort to reply; and makes a stupid; useless comment: : "Ask elsewhere". I'll read your next childish reply. But no; I won't reply. I think I made my point! But for slow learners like you it really doesn't matter. Looking forward to your words of wisdom in your reply. I enjoy the odd chuckle! |
