As per my concern if u want to replace & ugrade all the parts then u take a NVIDIA motherboard only because , the fx5500 videocard is of NVIDIA geforce company only thats why it will suit the motherboard itself & also nvidia provides 256MB onboard videocard so if u keep fx5500 videocard free it will be all right
Let me know is this helpful to u or not

Hi,

You may be able to just swap out the motherboard for a K7VM4 motherboard but some of the specs are different like the chipset and graphics etc.

K7VM4 specs as follows >>>>

1. Socket A(462) for AMD processor
2. VIA® KM400 Chipset

• ASRock U-COP
• Hybrid Booster - a safe overclocking feature
• FSB 333/266/200, DDR 333/266/200
• Integrated UniChrome 3D Graphic.
• 1 slot for AGP 8X/4X 1.5V
• ASROCK I/O - default 4 ready-to-use USB2.0 ports on rear panel, default Game/MIDI port.
• ATA 133 supported
• On board default 10/100 LAN and 5.1-Ch Audio.

K7VM2 specs as follows >>>>>>>

1. Socket A(462) for AMD processor
2. VIA® KM266 Chipset

• ASRock U-COP
• DDR 266/200
• Integrated ProSavarage8 3DGraphic.
• 1 slot for AGP 4X/2X universal.
• Supports both DDR and SDRAM memory modules to provide you best flexibility and save your cost.
• ASROCK I/O - default 4 ready-to-use USB2.0 ports on rear panel, default Game/MIDI port.
• ATA 133 supported
• On board default 10/100LAN and Audio.

As you can see the graphics and chipsets are different although the processor sockets are the same.

This could cause problems if you are going to plug the hard drive to another board but saying that is is possibe and has been done before.

This is a chance you take when you swap out a board for a different motherboard although i suspect that the transition should go smoothly.

A fairly old motherboard like K7VM4 or K7VM2 will not cost that much these days. You will find both motherboards for sale on eBay.

1 - simple test: connect the pc to a switch using another piece of cable and look at the led on the switch corresponding to the cable - if it doesn't light up when you plug the cable in the pc then the onboard LAN is fried. Unrepairable, get a new PCI one.
2 - that board has a VIA KM 266 chipset that has only one channel of memory that can be either DDR266 or PC133 SDRAM.

Try with one by one the memory sticks at the slots just by the CPU to see if the sticks are ok.

take out the memory it is most likly not compatable so just reinstate the old memory and you should be fine.

check and make sure your keyboard is plugged in. 3 long beeps means no keyboard.

Hi,
This is a socket 462 mobo with fsb speed of 266.

Hank

just take out the RAM clean it and try if it not works then try it in another slot it may be alright

yeah, replace the battery it will definitely solve the problem.

Have you check the video card, is it loose, not sitting right, beeps are either memory, video or a bad mobo. here's a list of beep codes; the numbers represent the amount of beeps
1   The memory refresh circuitry has failed 2   Parity errors have been detected in the first 64 KB of memory 3   A failure has occurred within the first 64 KB or memory 4   System Timer failure: Timer 1 on the mainboard does not work properly 5   The CPU has generated an undetectable error 6 8042 Gate-A20 failure: BIOS cannot switch the CPU into protected mode 7   The CPU has generated an exception error 8   The video adapter is missing, or the memory on the adapter has generated a failure 9   The ROM checksum value does not match the value in BIOS 10     The shutdown register for CMOS interrupt channel 2 has failed POST; the system board cannot retrieve CMOS contents during POST 11 Level-2 cache memory has failed the tests, and has been disabled 2 short POST has failed, caused by a failure of one of the hardware tests 1 long, 2 short Failure in video system: a checksum error was encountered in video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered 1 long, 3 short Failure in video system: the video DAC, the monitor detection procedure or the video RAM has failed 1 long POST procedures have passed

Its hard to say try just using one stick and booting up if it reads all that then its a ram if it doesnt then it seems like it could be a bios or m/b issue

if that is on board video , never mind , use agp 8x video card.

tell me what type and model of Mother board u have, write it down, google that and driver download, for example if ur mother board is a VIA kr223b then google this VIAKR223B DRIVER DOWNLOAD, and thats all you do dear sir.
