ECS K7VMA and

[Earthlingttc]

Well I am helping a friend out with a bit of a problem that he ran across during an upgrade.

He was currently running a 1ghz Duron on a ECS K7VMA(ecs along with pchips should burn.hehe), and ordered a XP1900 to replace that chip. According the the ECS website this chip is supported since they are both Socket A chips: www.ecsusa.com/support/table_k7.html

After he flashed the bios and installed the XP1900 chip he had no video feed and the system would not start posting. While after he switched back to the old chip, things booted up fine with no problems there. This was tested several times, and each time he got the same results.

I am thinking that the chip may be DOA, but I want to get some advise of the others on here, and see if they have any experence of XP chips working in this board. I do not see any reason why it should not support this chip.

Thanks a lot.
