Hi, you can download drivers and a manual here:

http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=342&CategoryID=1&MenuID=24&LanID=0

It has onboard vga and that the only graphic is has.
You can put a graphic card in the agp slot for better resolution.

I think the harddrive is dead since it will not boot.

You have just experienced Memory failure, one or more of your memory sticks has failed remove one at a time until the problem is solved....

Make sure you ground yourself on the case before touching the memory or youll end up frying the whole tower...

if the power button has broken, for an emergency fix you can cut the cables and touch them together with-out a problem, just touch them mind you, dont twist them together or anything (it is a momentary switch) just make sure they dont touch the casing anywhere.

sir, this problem occurs due to your CEMOS battery in the motherboard is damaged. just replace the CEMOS battery and your problem will be solved.

you can download it from the link http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?DetailID=78&CategoryID=1&MenuID=50&LanID=9


Click on Download Tab and chose the driver you want and chose the download location. done!!

First you need to find the revision. Seems revisions are v1.0, v1.0+B1 and v3.0. My board is a v1.0+B1 since there is a little "B1" sticker on the MB just above the gold ECS heatsink.

Then go to the ECS Taiwan website to get drivers. ECS.com.tw.

- the colors of the wires (can differ, depends on the case type):

• Green(+ is the colored wire)-White(-) --> POWER LED (GREEN light)
• Red-Black -> POWER SWITCH
• Red-White -> HDD LED (RED light)
• Blue-White -> RESET
• Red-Black (4 pins wide)-> SPEAKER

There are a few ECS motherboards listed on ECS web site. Each has a different revision number. Choose your correct version and download the manual for the MB. You will also need Adobe reader installed to view the manual. Adobe is a free download; http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/
ECS K7SEM MB;
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/ECSSearch.aspx?menuid=0&lanid=9&keyword=K7SEM
Once the manual is downloaded go to page 10. Turn to pages 16 & 17 to connect your case to the MB.

Cheers'
Mike
