Page 166: Appendix C Troubleshooting At First Start
APPENDIX C Troubleshooting at First Start Boot-up Issues The system do not power-up, no beeping sound heard and the CPU fan does not turn on. Check if the power cord is plug to the power source. Check if the power is connected to the M/B. Check if the cable of the case power button is connected to the M/B power button connector (see connectors and plug-ins in the manual for more info). - Page 167 2. Check all the jumper settings on the M/B. (if the M/B have any). Check the memory module and the VGA card if inserted properly on the M/B. If yes, change the memory module, it might be defective. Make sure the memory specification is supported by the M/B (for more info on this, check our FAQ website).
- Page 168 During Boot-up, my computer says CMOS memory Checksum error. What is the problem? Clear CMOS memory. Re-flash BIOS. Check on how to flash bios on the later part of this book. 3. Change the CMOS battery, the battery might be drained. The BIOS chip might be failing.

Page 169: Vga Issue
2. The BIOS chip is defected due to unsuccessful flash, contact your nearest SOYO branch for re-flashing. Is there a way to reprogram my BIOS after an unsuccessful flash? No other way, you need to send back the BIOS ROM to your nearest SOYO branch for re-flashing VGA Issue I cannot set my VGA to go higher than 16 color (640x 480). -

Audio Issue How can I disable the on-board Audio? Go to the SOYO Combo Feature in the BIOS setup, then set the “onboard audio” to disable. I cannot get the sound working on my system. Check if the speaker wire is connected to the line out connector in the M/B. -
Page 171: Hard Disk/Fdd/ Cd-Rom Issue
The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from the CD-ROM, I do not get any sound. What is wrong? This is because the 3-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the on-board CDIN1 connector in the M/B is not connected. See manual for location of CDIN1. - Page 172 RAID Issues Windows do not detect the on-board RAID. Enable the on-board RAID function in the BIOS-Under SOYO COMBO features setup.
