The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Super Socket 7 board using ISA cards and PCI video freezes up...

Asked by tandy in General Computer Systems

Tags: driver, freezes, fsb, isa, up

Hi all,

I recently upgraded an older  computer to a Super Socket 7
board(SY-5EH5/5EHM V1.0) with an AMD k6-2 500 processor. I re-used all other components:

ISA BUS:
56k Modem
Sound Blaster Sound Card
Adaptec 1502AE SCSI card


PCI BUS
ATI RageII+ 4meg Video Card

Manual for board:
http://www.soyousa.com/downloads/selectresults.php?language=&col1=Motherboard&col2=178&col3=Manual

The board installed okay with a 5.0 multiplier and 100MgHz
FSB. I selected to use AGP clock rather than PCI clock for Memory frequency.

I installed Windows 98 SE and all went well. I used the driver
files from the company(SOYO) for chipset functions and Bus Mastering.

All went well and all cards and and funtionality seemed okay.
However, during scanning with the scanner the system will freeze up.

Is the system hanging due to PCI video or could it be because the
ISA bus and/ or the bus master drivers from SOYO?

I am considering purchasing an AGP video card for the system but
do not wish to replace the ISA cards as this could be very expensive.  

What type of setup is required to run a stable system ?

Would dropping the FSB speed to 66 improve stability?
There is a 5.5 multiplier X 66mgHz would give an underclocked
speed of 360 mgHz.

Anybody with experience with this type of setup and providing
the best information regarding my Options will be rewarded the points.

thanks,

Tandy
