Hardware Installation SY-7ISA+ 2-3.9 Troubleshooting at First Start Video (no display) related issues I built a new computer system using a Soyo board and nothing happens when turning it on, no video and no beeps from the PC speaker. What is happening and how can it be fixed? No screen and no beeps mean that your CPU and motherboard do not work at all. It could be that the CPU is not seated correctly or that a component on the M/B is grounded (shorted) with the case.
Hardware Installation SY-7ISA+ My PCI VGA card works fine with my system, but when I put in a new AGP card, it does not give me any video. Is my AGP slot bad? This is a common problem with AGP video cards. The reason is that your AGP card did not get seated into the AGP slot fully and firmly. Please push your AGP card down into the socket real hard, it should snap twice. You may have to unscrew the AGP card to allow the card to go further down. Do take care not to damage the card by using too much force.
Hardware Installation SY-7ISA+ not get my modem to work What you need to do is to disable 'COM2' (or UART2 or serial port 2) in the bios under integrated peripheral setup. I have installed my modem drivers several times and I still cannot get my modem to work. Why? If you are sure that the modem driver has been installed correctly, then you need to install the south bridge driver from the SOYO CD, this is because Windows does not properly recognize relatively new chipsets.
Hardware Installation SY-7ISA+ The sound and everything else works fine except that the recorder and microphone do not work. What is wrong? This is because the recorder and microphone in the Windows are not enabled. Please go to sound properties and enable them. Lock up (freeze) When I boot up my system, everything works fine. It sees my CPU and memory, detects my hard drive, floppy drive and CD-ROM but locks up at "Verify DMI pool data... ", and it won’t go any further.
Hardware Installation SY-7ISA+ Note on Over-clocking Capability The SY-7ISA+ provides over-clocking capability. Due to the overclocking setting your system may fail to boot up or hang during run time. Please perform the following steps to recover your system from the abnormal situation : 1. Turn off system power (If you use an ATX power supply, and depending on your system, you may have to press the power button for more than 4 seconds to shut down the system.) 2.
