@Zipvoid: Perfect work on the case, I wouldn't recognize her! But it's really not worth it with a card, I see some scratches on PCB, broken pin for line out setting, molten plastics and a lot of corrosion. It's an ordinary card, that you can buy very cheaply and in impeccable condition on Ebay or …

If I understand correctly, You need connect wire from bracket to board so: But the connector which goes from the bracket to the motherboard can have different layouts even if it looks the same visually. Yes, I know - that's why I marked the pins from the board and from You has a usefull link to the …

I'll move the plastic stops, with a needle or little screwdriver and pull contacts out of the shell.

As he wrote, used generic P4 PSU with 45A on +5V rail, I think that won't be a problem. Even if they are not the same chipsets (KN series is with NForce, KT with VIA), symptoms are the same: no boot and stuck on state "Early chipset initialization" on D-bracket. He can try a start without CPU, if D- …

Here on Vogons is this picture of Your mobo, You can see two cables plugged into headers - obviously it is signed as CD (or CD-IN), AUX, TAD and sometimes could be colored. On Your CD (DVD) drive You can see AUDIO (analog and digital). Cable is plugged from the onboard CD (CD-IN) header to AUDIO ( …

This "mystery" is common in other MSI boards from this era (red PCB) too. I don´t know, what causes this problem, but I have two boards (KT3V and KT4AV), that behaved the same way - only the fans were spinning, D-bracket with three red and one green led (early chipset initialization), nothing more. …
Re: I believe I broke my Socket 7 motherboard, advice needed

What you really should check is ripple current, not only voltage. . That´s right, but Odiseo just wanted to know, if his source was destroyed, when his SIMM module was inserted in reverse. He needs an oscilloscope for ripple current measurement, if he wants to do it. Cheaper to get new ATX PSU …

I think, that tolerance for AT PSU is similar as for ATX. For 12V rail is +/-5%, that means 11,4V -12,6V is ok. For 5V rail is 5% too, so 4,75V-5,25V.

I don't understand what's happening, but there seems to be no solution - clean installation W98SE, next sound card (SB128 PCI now) and same result: no way... It looks, like the system sees an IRQ conflict and asks for automatic settings in the device manager, but this is both checked and set there …

Yes, there are people, who have two or maybe more sound cards on their computer at the same time, unfortunately it doesn't work for me, which ruins my plans. I wanted to use Creative Audigy with a 5.25" front panel later, because board does not have a standard audio header, but a header for Asus …
