BIOS Setup Utility SY-K7ADA 2-3.8 Power On You have now completed the hardware installation of your Motherboard successfully. 1. Turn the power on 2. To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, press the key while the system is performing the diagnostic checks, Note: If you have failed to enter the BIOS, wait until the boot up sequence is completed. Then push the RESET button and press key again at the beginning of boot-up, during diagnostic checks.
BIOS Setup Utility SY-K7ADA 2-3.9 Quick BIOS Setup This Motherboard does not use any hardware jumpers to set the CPU frequency. Instead, CPU settings are software configurable with the BIOS [SOYO COMBO SETUP]. The [SOYO COMBO SETUP] menu combines the main parameters that you need to configure, all in one menu, for a quick setup in BIOS. After the hardware installation is complete, turn the power switch on, then press the key during the system diagnostic checks to enter the Award BIOS Setup program.
BIOS Setup Utility SY-K7ADA 2-3.10 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.
BIOS Setup Utility SY-K7ADA 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.
BIOS Setup Utility SY-K7ADA 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. Audio Issues I do not get any sound from my sound card.
BIOS Setup Utility SY-K7ADA 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. What should I do? Please clear the CMOS ALi JP5 then choose 'load fail-safe default' in the bios and save the bios and exit.
