[mikes77]

Hello,

I have to fix this problem today, because I want to send this computer to my brother in London. My friend is flying to London today evening!!!! and he has to take this stuff with him to the plane... So u can see that tha case is urgent!!!

I have assembled all things;Epox 8RDA mobo, graphic card, RAM, drives etc. I've turn it on but it crashed on error code "7F". The monitor screen is blank i can't even enter the bios.

PLEASE HELP, i don't know what to do and the time is running out! I have only few hours left. I would be very, very grateful for Your help

Sorry for my poor English i live in Poland and this is my third language

have u tried CMOS Clear? Or try removing the CPU-clock jumper.

Hi,
Right now I can't because I'm working... :-) Thanks for your advise... and BTW I've noticed that You managed to overclock Athlon XP 1700+ JIUHB. I've just bought the same 2 processors. I intend to overclock them on my brothers mobo and on mine. I don't have any watercooling, only Coolermaster Dream up to 2800+ and higher. Is it possible to reach 2600+?

What is this error "7F" anyway?


Thanx for help and BTW I have cusin in Deutschland who lives in Berlin :-)

No idea...
I think the handbook says "Boot attempt" or something...
Maybe you should try another GFX Card, too, when clearing the CMOS or removing the jumper aren't helping...
Of course its possible to hit a rating of 2600+ which is "only" 2083Mhz. If your CPU is good it won't even need 1,6V to do that.

7F

Switch back to text mode if full screen logo is supported.
-if errors occur, report errors & wait for keys
-if no errors occur or F1 key is pressed to continue:
* Clear EPA or customization logo.

Word for word from the manual.

Good Luck!

7F code means that you have problems with your video card. It gave me the same code when my video card ATi8500 died, so check the video card dude.

Do you have an old PCI one you can use?

Thank You all for your advises.
Finally I've managed to locate the problem. Jcool and VIPER- You were right: my Radeon 8500 PRO is dead :-( .
I replaced it with my old GeForce 2 Ti and everything was fine. Well, looks like I have to buy a brand new Radeon 9500 and mod it to 9800 ))))

No problem.
Sorry for your loss. I lost mine card (also 8500) not so long ago, but now I'm waiting to see NV 5600Ultra and ATi 9600 PRO .
