I have recently purchased a second hand GigaByte GA-7zxr KT133 Socket A motherboard.

The person I bought it off(through eBay) said it was taken from an upgrade and worked perfectly when he sent it.

I am running:
Duron 800Mhz
512Mb SDRAM RAM
GeForce FX5200
Western Digital Caviar 80Gb
Maxtor 40Gb
SBLive!

When I try and boot up everything gets power but I don't get to the post screen.
I get a series of beeps but I don't know wha they are or how to describe them.

I have shuffled the RAM around and its not that, I have tried 3 different graphics cards.
Unplugged the HDD and CD-ROM etc.
The only think it could be is the CPU, when I change the FSB(theres a switch on the board) to 133Mhz the beeping stops but I still don't even get to the post screen.

I have checked the Power button, reset, sound wires etc.... And the USB2 jumpers aswell, and its not that.

I've also cleared the BIOS and checked all jumpers on the motherboard(I think)

Any ideas guys? I need help confused.gif

Here is a list of beep codes for the BIOS in that mobo of yours. This should help you narrow down the failing hardware.

Excellent!

Thanks for your help, turned out that it was a duff card ohmy.gif(

Don't know why my others weren't working, but I took the battery out to properly clear the BIOS and then my others worked.
