I dont know i canot instal the correct sound drivers the sound in speakers is very quiet event when i set the volume on max. And it have problems with G-force 4 MX440 64ddr. Nv ram checking ........., ? If you know what to do emailme .

Bought this 4 years ago and never had a problem. Recommended by Tom's Hardware. I only have 512mb of the standard memory and have no problems with Windows XP.

Four or five years ago I bought a K7S5A motherboard from Novatech, they claimed to have replaced the CPU, but I never got it to work.No sign of life at all.

Several reviews praised the K7S5A, so I dug mine out of the cupboard, and I am interested to find out if there is something faulty with the motherboard or CPU.

I have been trying to run it "barebones" with 550W PSU,256MB SDRAM, video card and 2.1GB hard drive. No sign of life after implementing loads of advice from various sources.

Having worked for many years with a Railway Signalling company, I am familiar with manufacture and testing of PCB's. So what I am asking is if you know of anyone who has a test facility which checks every component on a motherboard for correctness of component and polarity where appropriate? (Assuming that was done by the Elite Group's manufacturer when the board was made).

As Elite Group are not contactable I have been unable to put the question to them directly.
