GA-990FXA-UD3 AMD 990FX - 2 questions.

[Mrtibbs]

I have attatched a four hole speaker cable to the motherboard from the case, as well as a AC 97 cable to the mobo.

Anything else I need to do?

You really only need to connect the PC Speaker to the motherboard header to hear the POST beeps.

If you are not hearing any beeps try reconnecting the speaker lead round the other way, as polarity of the connection can have an effect. Are you sure the PC Speaker is working?

You might like to have a look through this thread: http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,5704.msg45814.html#msg45814 as I go through putting a new system together and it may give you some ideas that you haven't tried.

Just to keep you updated.

I took the newly built PC to where I bought all the components back to and explained about the bios update.

They took it in, installed the new Bios and now its all up and runnin fine.

I really do appreciate the help from absic and Mantis.

Would not have been able to sort this without your help!

Hi Mrtibbs,

Thanks for the update and I'm pleased you're now up and running. Let us know what you think of the system and especially how you find the Bulldozer processor.
