I believe that I read this somewhere on this website about an issue that the ECS K7S5A has with an improper resistor in the latter revisions of the board. Well, my board is currently collecting dust, and I have tried to find a solution, and I wanted to check if this resistor issue could be it.
My system is:
ECS K7S5A
T-Bird 1333 Mhz
512 DDR RAM
Geforce 2 GTS
IBM 75GXP HDD
In essense, I cannot get my system to do anything. It posts, but then if I try to install an OS, it dies during installation, and windows setup says something about it being a problem with Cache shadowing, or something along those lines. Linux just says there is an error mounting hda1 at 1:03. I know it's not an error with the hard drive, or the video card, since I have tried others, so I'm thinking it might be the resistor thing. My only doubt of this is because my system worked for quite a while before it just up and died suddenly, so the resistor issue seems a little dubious.
