Author Topic: Is there someone out there who knows Asrocj K7 Ugrade 600? luke New Member Member # 1368 posted                    Dear Asrockers, this is my first topic here, hope you will have some consideration with me.... I was looking for some good mem-modules for my son's K7 Upgrade. I bought some Kingston 256MB 400Mhz modules, but...after installing it the PC only beeps.. 1 long and two short beeps. Sounds really nice ... but alas, that's all there is.. Trying to figure out what is could be (overlooking jumpers again and again, FSB, AGP etc, etc, we concluded that either the CPU is bad (Athlon XP 2400+ - but its brand-new, so..) or the mem modules arent that good, as the beautiful picture suggested. Anybody out there who has some experiences like we have with this mobo and any suggestions about mem? we would be very, very relieved.. and offer you lots of thanks when you come with a solution that works.

On my Upgrade880, it was very sensative to the FSB pins on the motherboard. You have a 266FSB CPU, so set the pins as follows: FSB_SEL0 - No connections FSB_SEL1 - 2-3 FSB_SEL2 - 1-2 If these pins are not properly set, the memory can run at all kinds of weird speeds. Let me know if those are properly set, and if they were not, if you get any better results. -Plack -------------------- Lap: Dell Vostro 1500/1.6GHz C2D/4GB RAM/Nvidia 8400GS 128MB/15.4" Desk: E8400 9x433(3.9GHz)@1.35v/Gigabyte G33M-DSR2/4GB RAM/ATi 3850 256MB/37" Westinghouse 1920x1080 My Photo works on Deviant Art Posts: 1316 | From: Hephzibah, GA | Registered: Jan 2004 NPlack Platinum Member Member # 479 posted                    Well, check the FSB pins anyways, but i might have found something more helpful. If that board has AMI or Award BIOS, 1 long + 2 short is a Video failure. Do you have another Video card to try in that machine? And by chance, what video card are you using? -Plack -------------------- Lap: Dell Vostro 1500/1.6GHz C2D/4GB RAM/Nvidia 8400GS 128MB/15.4" Desk: E8400 9x433(3.9GHz)@1.35v/Gigabyte G33M-DSR2/4GB RAM/ATi 3850 256MB/37" Westinghouse 1920x1080 My Photo works on Deviant Art Posts: 1316 | From: Hephzibah, GA | Registered: Jan 2004 Mario Bronze Member Member # 515 posted                    Edit: NPlack type faster btw: have you tray to resart bios? maybe wrong settings... -------------------- E7200, GA-EP35-DS3L, 2x2GB + 2x1GB DDR800, AMD HD3870 512/256 X-fi Music Gold and other stuff Posts: 292 | From: Poland | Registered: Feb 2004 johnmalc Platinum Member Member # 73 posted                    Hi Luke, Welcome to the Haven, glad you found us! NPlack is spot on, that is video problems, I would suspect the card is not seated correctly (very common problem), so take it out, and then re-seat it and try again. Good luck,and post back -------------------- "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, Then you have totally misunderstood the severity of the situation....."

Whether it be new, used, or even some of my old stock. Having fresh BIOS makes troubleshooting so much easier, since you are starting from a clean slate. Unseated video cards are a very common problem. Dont be afraid to push hard on those suckers. They need to be FULLY seated to function properly. They are not like PCI cards that only need to be partially seated. AGP cards have two layers of pins, making it crucial to haveing a fully seated card. -Plack -------------------- Lap: Dell Vostro 1500/1.6GHz C2D/4GB RAM/Nvidia 8400GS 128MB/15.4" Desk: E8400 9x433(3.9GHz)@1.35v/Gigabyte G33M-DSR2/4GB RAM/ATi 3850 256MB/37" Westinghouse 1920x1080 My Photo works on Deviant Art Posts: 1316 | From: Hephzibah, GA | Registered: Jan 2004 luke New Member Member # 1368 posted                    Oke Guys that's really fast help! well: lets see, Nplack: it's the one with the AMI bios - so first beep is correct posting en the two short beeps signifie parity error - or am i wrong about that? (www tells me there's a difference between AMI/AWARD beep codes - or not? Mario: what do you suggest by res(t)art bios? do you suggest: reset? - is done - johnmalc: video card is a Radeon 9200 se 128MB (with the right voltage 1,5 or so - also: NO 3,3 V. I'll tell my son to check if the card is seated properly - you never know.... BUT: non of you reflects on the supposed mem-problem? Am i totally wrong about that what brand of MEM dou you have? thanks for now Luke Posts: 3 | From: Netherlands | Registered: Mar 2005 NPlack Platinum Member Member # 479 posted                    1long+2short is video error on both AMI and Award. 9200se is just fine. I bet it is just a seating problem. Memory shouldnt be a problem as far as compatability, but there is always the chance that it is DOA. I ran GeiL, AData, Corsair, generic all in my Upgrade880 without fail. Either way, the BIOS beep is a video error. -Plack -------------------- Lap: Dell Vostro 1500/1.6GHz C2D/4GB RAM/Nvidia 8400GS 128MB/15.4" Desk: E8400 9x433(3.9GHz)@1.35v/Gigabyte G33M-DSR2/4GB RAM/ATi 3850 256MB/37" Westinghouse 1920x1080 My Photo works on Deviant Art Posts: 1316 | From: Hephzibah, GA | Registered: Jan 2004 johnmalc Platinum Member Member # 73 posted                    Hi Luke All beep codes are a sequence, so don't read the first beep as the "okay", 'cos it isn't. I would say 50% of the vid cards I sell get me a phonecall saying "it just beeps", and I give them Plack's advice, PUSH! Never had one back yet Go for it -------------------- "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, Then you have totally misunderstood the severity of the situation....." Posts: 2935 | From: Greece | Registered: Jun 2003 luke New Member Member # 1368 posted                    to everybody who responded so far.. Well, despite all your good advices we cannot get the asrock K7 Upgrade-600 running. We double, triple -cheched al the pins and settings, so that can't be the cause. CPU maybe? But it is strange that another CPU *Athlon 1200* functions very well in another (MSI) mobo but not in this one. I'll take it back to the shop where i bought it, and try to get an new one.. Or maybe it's better to ask for another type? in my own PC i have a K7SXE and it's working really fine. I also don't see much reactions on the K7Ugrade-600... maybe that's a sort of warning not to buy this mobo? Or am i seeing ghosts anyway, you will hear from us, see how this story ends.. from Holland with thanks Luke and Harm Posts: 3 | From: Netherlands | Registered: Mar 2005 Mario Bronze Member Member # 515 posted                    You can buy very cheap and good mobo on nForce2 check ECS N2U400-A prices.. -------------------- E7200, GA-EP35-DS3L, 2x2GB + 2x1GB DDR800, AMD HD3870 512/256 X-fi Music Gold and other stuff Posts: 292 | From: Poland | Registered: Feb 2004
