I have a K7S5a ver 3. Has been running with an MSI G4MX440-VT8X video card. System was running well except when I would toggle the video card over to
TV out" it would restart the DVD that was playing. It would also lock up my Leadtek TV2000 application if it was running. After searching the net I came across the unofficial K7S5A guide. Reading it, I came across info about the SIS AGP port driver. In device manager it was not present, however Standard PCI to PCI bridge was. In the guide it said that this would be present if no SIS AGP port was loaded. I followed the guide downloaded the lates SIS driver. I clicked on the Standard PCCI to PCI bridge in device manger and selected up date driver which I used the latest SIS driver(1.17e, the guide called for 1.15 but I couldn't find it). After the reboot, my video was not refreshing well and the video would flash on and off. I restarted in safe mode. I updated the driver on the MSI card to nVidia's 56.72 driver. Still no good. Frustrated, I reformatted the drive and started over, reloading Win2K. On the reload of Win2K, I loaded SIS 1.17e AGP port driver. Also Loaded nVidia's 56.72 driver, However I still can't get the system to function without running in safe mode. Looking for some help. I tried a Gforce2Ti card and same problem.
thanks
