EliteGroup K7S5A (does not say pro on the board)

Have you upgraded to the newest Adobe Flash Player, and JAVA?

1) http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

2) http://www.java.com/en/

Restart your computer after downloading, and installing, if you are not directed to.

with the error of video card, you can hear the warning beep of mother board.usually one long two short. if you don't hear anything .check memory card or cpu is installed firmly.

try going to www.elitegroup.com for manuals jackie

frist you have some port of usb on front pannel of cpu . connect the wire of usb . u can plug the usb card from on board pci slot then you need to enable your usb in bios

According to the specs the max amount of ram is 1 GB and max speed is pc2100 so a pc3200 would not run on it unless the board was able to clock the speed down of that single stick of ram.

I was not able to find the max amount of ram per slot on a quick search but most likely it would be 512 mb per slot for a max of 1 GB between the two DDR slots.

at Newegg you can find DDR 266 1 GB kits (2 x 512mb) which would get you the 1 GB of ram.

Try this... Remove all cards, hard drive(s) and cables, such as cdrom and floppy, except the video connection so that you can see what is going on. Go to the bios setup. Set all of the bios settings to default as you exit to reboot. Then try again. By setting the bios, that should take care of it. Then replace the other items, cards one by one and watch the reactions.
Hope it works.

If you wish, tell us the socket number and we can then look up your board specifications. My guess is that the board runs pc2700 chips as the max speed possible.pc 3200 is faster(400MHZ)    than pc2700(333MHZ).

Most common issue's for not being able to boot PC system.
1. Swap power cord/replace. Check video connection cable,
Check monitor power cable. (Check wall outlet is good).
2. Reset cmos/bios. (Need to use manual for board to reset)
3. (No display on monitor, can hear fan's running & LED's on case light/flash). Remove & re-seat video card, same for memory. (While in PC check all power connections & data cables to devices.
4. Fans not running & no LEDs do not light/flash. Power supply may be bad.

Luck!
