:rolleyes: I have a Soyo K7ADA board that is the most frustrating board I've ever dealt with. When I first set it up using a XP1800+ and fairly plain vanilla components, it ran fine for about a week then it just stopped. CPU temp was about 97 degrees F Board temp was less. I tried everything I could think of, but, it would do nothing. I took the CPU and RAM to a shop and had them tested. Both were OK. Put it back together and it fired right up. Three days later it died again. Pulled the board, sent it to SOYO and they said it was OK. They blamed my components. I did this routine a total of three times. I even purchased the same memory they used for the tests. In between all this nonsense I acquired a Shuttle board and all my components worked just fine. In fact I'm using them now. I tried setting it up again with a Duron processor and their recommended RAM and it worked fine until I changed the CPU to an Athlon 950. Now it's dead again. Anybody have any ideas as to what the problem could be. Thanks.:D thewalrus

I also have a problem with a Soyo board; namely, the K7S5A. I built my computer with this board and an Athlon XP 1500+, and in the BIOS I set the cache to 266 MHz. The comp froze on startup. I set it back to 200 MHz, loaded fine, but clocks my CPU at 1000 MHz and says it's a reg. Athlon. So I updated my BIOS. Set it to 266 MHz. Same thing. So I'm not running my comp at full capacity and I don't know what to do. Help, anyone?
