Top 20 Soyo P4X400 Dragon Ultra Motherboard Questions & Answers

Hi there,

I have looked around and your sound chip on your motherboard is a C-Media CMI8738-MX

And you can get it here : C-Media Download



Good luck and don't forget to vote.

First reconnect both connection to harddrive power cable and ide or sata cable. Make sure harddrive is set as master you can set it as master with jumper settings on harddrive. Then when you power up the computer press F1 or F2 or del or ALT+F2 to enter in bios then you can see bios setup on screen make sure harddrive is recognized there. Reconnect RAM memory. Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.

complete dead system first see the power supply if it works fine go to mother board and check if any cable has removed before if not take out the processor fan and power on and put your thumb in processor it will be hot if mother board is working any information email me [email protected] &nbsp; <br>

Hi,

Please post your feedback and Vote if the problem resolved as per your satisfaction.

If the board supports both chips then your problem from those symptoms may just be the ram type. Usually when you get no life at all thats a ram problem. And if the ram and cpu are good then its the ram speed and multiplier are wrong.

So what you need to do is open the user manual and find the section (should be near the front) that shows the cpu types allowed and the type/speed of ram required. There are a few differant types of p4's so you have to get the right family of p4.
It will show you the fsb speed required as well. You should be able to set it to auto and have it work if everything is right.

The other thing I should mention is that unless you are doing fairly numerically intensive programs you wouldn't really notice any differance for the majority of use when you sawp to that cpu. You will notice extra system ram 1gb or more make a big difference or a new video card with 512mb or more ram. The last makes such a huge difference as the newer cards do the video processing themselves. I just put a 1GB ATI video card in a 2.5ghz P4. It has 1gb of system ram. I was going to get a new pc but that made such a huge difference I'll use that one until it dies of old age. A new 1gb video card is about $60ish. That was a real eye opener for me and I' would highly reccomend it before most other updates.

Hi .

There could be many things that could stop the board from turning on, Determining what is wrong is like detective work. What I do, is take everything off the board to start. Then add the minimum to start a board to see if it will start. That's one drive (cd or otherwise) the CPU, and one bank of memory. (that's not a required eliminate, but it helps avoid beep codes) Also, make sure you have your pin's set on the board absolutely correct, or that could be your problem to begin with. Also, if your going to load a ide drive, make sure you set your pin setting correctly on it. Now, you should get the power supply on, and the cpu. If those don't power up, it's then either one of the five elements. The CPU, Power supply, Ram, Drive, or the motherboard. The next step is to replace each one of the first four with another to see if you get any change. Also, on the drive, try a different cable to make sure it's not that, If no change, then I usually get another board that I can test the first four, and make sure that they work. If after that and you have tested all of the components and they all work, then it's save to say you have a Dead Board

Good Luck and don't forget to leave a rating.

Had good luck with Tigerdirect.com
and Buy.com

Tiger direct has a section called Computer cases where you can select. Just recently purchased the Apevia X-plore Mid-tower case for $59.99. Absolutely beautiful with the blue lights and extra fans.

Hope this helps!
Good luck!

The long beed means you have refix RAM memory and processor.
For that open cpu cabinet and find motherbord.
Refix RAM memory on motherbord.
Open processor fan and processor.Then refix both.
Clean dust from all parts.
Remove pci cards then refix it.
Make sure motherbord not ground with cabinet surface.
Then check.
Let me know if you need more assistance.Thanks.

I am currently running a TigerDirect now Compusa Dragon build kit with this Mboard and a Celeron 2.4 in it with 1.5GB memory and Windows Vista Ultimate. Just Know that if you upgrade to Vista, the on board sound card will not work. You will need to search for new drivers to get it to work.

Click here to see all available updates and drivers for your Mercury board. Looking at the list, there is no Bios Update, so if your BIOS is corrupted, so may need to call Mercury and order a new BIOS Chip.

I HAVE WINDOWS XP WITH MOTHER BOARD OF MERCURY PI865D7 , I WANT AUDIO DRIVER TO DOWNLOAD

on the motherboard if there is the pin setup section that you plug them into it will indicate what each pin is for. it may not be the same as your old one but will be basicaly the same setup with + & - connections for the hard drive light ,power light , power on/off, speaker ect...

check for the AGP socket for dry soldering i f u are using built in display card the problem presits with display IC in the mother board contat a chip level service center

Your monitor is failing due to age.

Either the cord isn't hooked up, a pin is bent, or the computer isn't sending a signal. In the last case, you may need a new graphics card.

Go to Device Manager - locate your monitor - delete it with drivers - reboot the system

this can be your computer issue not monitor try connect to other monitor and make sure your computer is working fine ,you can check all the lights on the computer are on and getting no beeps sounds usually you will hear a single beep when PC is booting well

you install a application in your pc application name is " realtek audio driver

screen n T-con faulty replace them
