Don't wish to down a motherboard manufacturer, as it isn't good business, but I would use a SOYO mobo for a frisbee.

You've indicated that the primary master IDE isn't recognized?
Is this by looking in BIOS Setup?

Have you tried to set the harddrive's parameters manually in BIOS Setup?
Set the Cylinders, Heads, and Sectors?

The Cyl, Heads, and Sec information for each harddrive can be found by looking at the label on the top of the harddrive.
If it isn't listed go to the harddrive manufacturer's website, and use the model number off of the harddrive, to find said information.

Example using Seagate harddrive,
Barracuda, Model number ST3500830A
500GB.

A) 16,383 Cylinders
B) 6 Heads
C) 63 Sectors

Also depends on what flat ribbon IDE cable you're using.
With a 40-wire flat ribbon IDE cable the primary harddrive plugs into the Middle of the cable.
With an 80-wire flat ribbon IDE cable, the primary harddrive plugs into the End connector of the cable.
(Both styles of IDE cables have 40-pins. Actually 39 as 1 is not used)

(Look under the heading - Connecting Your Hard Drives)

Plus you may want to check the continuity of each flat ribbon IDE cable's wires.
Use a multimeter set to Ohms.
Due to the age of these cables they can go bad.

Yes, it is possible but it is important that you have all drivers after installing windows server 2003.

Bios settings are retained by the Motherboard Battery in the CMOS. Disconnecting the battery clears CMOS and returns the settings to their original state. Typically this can be done by simply removing the CMOS battery and waiting about 15 seconds before reinserting and booting PC. Nowadays most Motherboard manufacturers supply a jumper to not only disconnect the battery but also ground the CMOS to effectively drain any residual power.

The instructions for your MB are found below. JP5 is located to the left of the battery and next to the PCI 2 slot on your MB. There is a Manual for your MB on this site and the MB layout can be found at

Follow the steps below to clear the CMOS memory.

1. Clear the CMOS memory by momentarily shorting pin 2-3 on jumper JP5. Its white cap can easily identify this jumper.

2. Put the jumper back to 1-2 to allow writing of new data into the CMOS memory.

Hello sir, hi, J3 or JP3 is CPU Front Side Bus clock jumper setting (JP3) you can visit this link for adition al info: http://www.fixya.com/support/p281070-soyo_sy_k7vme_motherboard/manual-35533/page-12 .
Dont tell me you made a mess of the jumper settings, if you did, we need the manual for proper configuration.

If you have not modify the motherboard jumper settings, then your monitor problem is the graphics board.
If you have AGP card installed, remove the card and clean the contacts on the card, by using an eraser and the agp slot with a clean painbrush, reseat it on its slot afterwards. TEST. Do this several times until the PC respond, if not;
It could also be your main DDR memory, remove the module and clean it also, then reseat the module. Test.
Make sure that your DDR modules are good, If you are not sure, you may need to swap out an extra module for test. Or visit a friend who has the same module as your pc.
Do the swapping of the the modules several times until the PC respond.

do a online search for your motherboard company. and type diagram.

There should be a disable option in the bios on the motherboard setup, instead of doing the jumper.

First of all, power down, remove all cables and check to see if your Graphics card is inserted correctly. Also try removing and re-seating the graphics card.

Check the cable from graphics card to monitor. Also try cable and monitor on another pc to eliminate this possible cause.

Failing that, you could have a BIOS problem.....did you recently try to flash your BIOS chip??

ok check you video driver because if your moniter is working with other computers then that could be what it is but let me know if anything else happens
