Problemfix to K7S5A + Geforce Vidcards

Hello its me again
i think i have some Ideas how to fix the Problem
with the K7SA5 Board + Geforce VidCards
i have readed in some technical Forums and
found something about the Problem.

ok listing here.

1. the K7S5A + Geforce needs a not to high clocked Ram
i guess the Save Mod for Ram looks like the best cause
it does touch the RAM working Process.

2. the K7S5A borad + Geforce VidCards .. needs a verry good
Powersupply like 300 - 350 , may 400 WATT Powersupply
if it is under this, comes it that often to the Bluescreen or the
Comp goes to Froze while gaming.

3. up to the driver Detonator 29.42 is the working with GFcards
Stabil (no Problems )

4. A Biosupdate does fix some Problems too.
found under www.Elitegroup.com (redirect)
all informations how to make a Biosupdate and wich files are
needed is to found there

ok thats the most ProblemFactors i have found to this specific
Problem and how to fix, Guys which have used the way, stay now
without any Problems (as most was it to high Clocked RAM and
the Powersupply wich had not the needed Power (200-250 watt is to low, must be more for this Board and Vidcard) be sure to check your Bios that while using Geforce idcard the Option
Bios cachable is not Activated must be disabled .

that was now the most fixes wich i have found on other TechBoards ... hopefully it will help you all...

Not Exacly. The problem here isn't the wattage, it's the quality. I've known people with 400W who has problem. The problem is it was a 400W generic power supply. You need a NAME BRAND PSU. Preferrably Antec, Enermax, Sparkle, or another good quality PSU. I have the S5A (v 1.0) and a Sparkle 300W and it works just fine.

Yup

4. A Biosupdate does fix some Problems too.

If you have no problems, dont update!
