can someone help me with this...
it's been a few weeks since i've messed with my computer and i just decided to quit neglecting it

i turned on the computer, went into bios and tried to enable a few things to increase performance that i had never tried before:
-Switched Video Memory Cache Mode to USWC
-enabled AGP Fast Writes

the rest of the changes i made were fairly common things that i had previously done

after i saved the settings and rebooted...nothing...no post, no beeb...i tried shorting the cmos pins and still nothing...the only thing i can see is that my Leadtek GF2 GTS doesn't like USWC mode...
anybody have any suggestions on how to rectify the situation?

Im having the same problem And cant figure it out I get a bios beep then it just off.
 
I have done alot of checking and the A7V133 does not support AGP Fastwrites and if your video card does not support USWC dont change the setting.
 
try doing a shortcircuit on the soldering points and later, remover the battery
good lucky
 
I have that board and had many many a time when the system would not post from changing BIOS settings. Try to manually set your cpu speed using the dipswitches, so your BIOS will detect a change has been mae and boot you directly into the BIOS

Hope that helps:D

Yeah those A7V133s are picky boards i used the jumper settings on the board and it was more stable then using adjustmenst in BIOS im sure glad i don't have that board anymore. try using jumpers on the board better. Good luck
