I can't seem to get my NEW k7s5a Pro mobo w/ a new AMD 1700 to boot up. I am using DDR pc2100 256k memory and a pre-loaded drive but it hangs at the screen that says to start in safe mode or normal or prompt...etc. then the darn thing just cycles back through the same thing over and over. Anyone out there heard or this?

Mine was acting similar the other night when I had my Ram Speed ratings too low ... I tried to run 2-2-2-6 and it kept rebooting before getting to the OS ...
I changed it back to 2-3-3-7 and it starting acting right again ...

If you took the hard drive from a diffrent computer and put it in your NEW one you are going to have to reformat it to work properly.
Hello,Mobo, Bios Info...

Try setting your settings in the bios to 100/100, also check that the jumpers on your mobo are set correctly, hope this helps,,

Yeah - if your hard drive was from your old computer (that didnt have the same motherboard / main parts ) your going to have to format and reinstall windows (whatever version)
You may luck out if your chipset is the same as before, but otherwise your ***** out of luck!

"-The mass–storage controllers (IDE or SCSI) must be identical between the reference and destination computers.
-Plug and Play devices such as modems, sound cards, network cards, video cards, and so on, do not have to be the same. However, any device drivers not included in Drivers.cab should be included in the master installation before you run Sysprep. Alternatively, make sure the uninstalled drivers are available on the destination computer at first run, so Plug and Play can detect and install the drivers. "
um... i dunno EXACTLY what the first one means, but... you could give it a shot?
