it does that noting wrong

Hi, you can download a manual here:
Your mainboard has AGP slot.

1 slot for AGP 8X/4X 1.5V

The to first one is AGP.
The last one is PCI-E

From the image I have on the site, on the front of the motherboard are the slots for the Hard Drive. On the cable for the connections, you will see a 'blank' spot, and that corresponds to the open pin on the back of the drive. You will see the exact same setup for the Motherboard slots. There is virtually no way to hook this up wrong. When you hook this up, be sure to unplug the unit from the wall or take the power from out of the back of the unit. Check for bent pins, and properly seated processor. Remove the processor and make sure there are no bent pins on it as well. You can GENTLY (and I say this in this manner, as if you break one, it's over,) straighten the pins out if they are bent. Try this and let me know how you make out.
The other slots you speak of are for extra cards, but as this one has built in video and audio as well as LAN ( large phone plug for internet ) you would only have to install one if you wish to upgrade.
Hope this is helpful

Click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to display adapters + to expand you might see a yellow question mark ? or exclamation mark ! or a red x right click select reinstall drivers

If your computer came with a motherboard disc the drivers could be on it

Want to make sure your drivers are in place and no errors have occurred? Simply click start right click on my computer select properties then select device manager scroll to Display Adapters and click on the small "+" you should see the model of your PCI Express graphic card there. If there is a problem with it, a yellow exclamation mark should appear besides it. If you don

This diagram on PAGE 8 should give you an answer. http://download.asrock.com/manual/K7S41GX.pdf

NOTE. The connectors from your desktop casing should and usually has labels on it and in a group.

Beeps are mainly caused by bad, dusty memory module or the port it is connected to. However, since you have tried changing it with a working one and i suppose you already clean it that's fine. One more hardware which causes beeps is the video card. If you have a video card installed, it may be moved when you change the memory module. I suggest you try to reseat the video card as well.. Hope that works

the beeps are post during post the very first work is done by the ram,all the memory in the ram is first transferred to the hard disk,and remains active untill turned off. make sure that your RAM is securely seated test or replace all the leads that attach to your hard drive make sure the connections are secure including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA the ones that attach from your ((motherboard to hard drive)) make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty or just replace them they are probably old and faulty ? hope this helps

This board is only compatible with AGP 8X video cards.
For full specs on this motherboard go to: http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=K7S41GX

Your options are:
Some Geforce 6 series cards (mainly the 6200 and 6600GT).
All of the Geforce FX series cards (FX5700 and FX5200).
All the Geforce 4 series cards (Geforce 4 Ti and Geforce 4 MX).
All the Geforce 3 series cards (Geforce 3 Ti 500, Geforce 3 and Geforce 3 Ti 200).
All the Geforce 2 series cards.
All the Geforce 256 series cards.

This should answer your question.
Please rate me high.
Thanks.

Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan is not working your PSU is faulty

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up a computer hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they are probably old and faulty a computer needs its connections to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error hope you find this helpfull

NOTE*
The following applies to motherboards such as an AsRock K7S41GX.
It does NOT apply to motherboards supporting the Intel Core i3, i5, i7, and i9 processors.

1) Motherboard diagram,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Motherboard_diagram.svg

A) CPU = Central Processing Unit. Another term is Microprocessor, or Processor for short.
The 'Brain' of the computer.

B) Front Side Bus. Also abbreviated as FSB.
The FSB is the 'Information Highway' between the Processor, and the Northbridge chip.

[Chip and Chipset are slang terms for I.C.
Integrated Circuit,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit ]

C) The motherboard chipset is the Northbridge chip, and the Southbridge chip.

The Northbridge chip handles the faster capabilities of the computer.
It is named NORTHbridge, because on the orientation of the motherboard, it is to the North of the motherboard.

The Southbridge chip handles the slower capabilities of the computer.


D) The Northbridge handles the Processor, Ram Memory, and HIGH-speed graphics.
AGP and PCI Express are high speed graphic technologies.

A graphics card used in a PCI expansion slot, and Integrated Graphics are NOT high speed graphics.


E) The Southbridge handles Integrated Graphics, (OnBoard graphics. Same/same), and the PCI bus.
A graphics card inserted into a PCI expansion slot is one example of Southbridge support.

Any add-in card inserted into a PCI expansion slot, is in the PCI bus.
Therefore handled by the Southbridge chip.

The Southbridge chip also handles IDE (PATA), and SATA harddrives.
Handles USB ports, Ethernet port/s, audio, and the CMOS memory.

F) The Internal Bus is the 'Information Highway' between the Northbridge chip, and the Southbridge chip.

G) The LPC Bus is the 'Information Highway' between the Southbridge chip, and the Super I/O chipset.
The LPC Bus is also the 'Information Highway' between the Southbridge chip, and the BIOS chipset.

H) The Super I/O chipset handles,
Serial port
Parallel port
Floppy Disk Drive
Keyboard
Mouse


2) http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=K7S41GX

The AsRock K7S41GX has;

A) Socket A processor socket. Also known as Socket 462

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_A

Can use AMD processors that fit in a Socket A processor socket, and have either a 200MegaHertz, 266MHz, or 333MHz FSB.

Here is the CPU Support List,

http://www.asrock.com/mb/cpu.asp?Model=K7S41GX

Supports DDR Sdram ram memory at either 266MHz, or 333MHz.
PC2100 and PC2700, respectively.

Maximum TOTAL Amount of Ram Memory is 2GB
Maximum Amount for EACH ram memory slot is 1GB.
There are two ram memory slots.

Has an AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) graphics expansion slot, that supports AGP 4X , or AGP 8X graphics cards. (1.5 Volt)

Has two PCI expansion slots

Supports IDE (PATA) harddrive/s. (2 maximum)
Supports IDE optical drives. (CD or DVD, or burners for both)

The motherboard chipset is a SiS 741GX - Northbridge, and the SiS 963L - Southbridge

HERE IS THE SITE FOR DRIVERS AND BIOS UPDATE FOR THE ASROCK K7S41GX (http://www.asrock.com.tw/mb/download.asp?Model=K7S41GX&o=All)

WAS IT WORKING BEFORE WHEN THERE WAS OTHER OS IN UR PC IF YES THEN TRY TO DOWNLOAD SOME DRIVER OR PATCH FROM THE ASROCK SITE WILL HELP

Install suitable audio driver.

ooops.. that's bad. if BIOS flashing fails, then the only way to fix is to send it to the manufacturer.. however, if it is already out of warranty, i suggest you get another system since it will cost you almost the same... But im still hoping you can find another way to fix it... Regards..

did u already install ur sound driver? if not here is the link that u can download it http://www.asrock.com/MB/download.asp?Model=K7S41GX&o=XP

You can dowload the video VGA driver on this link: http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=K7S41GX&o=Alljust select VGA..Hope this works..

upon checking your motherboard, it has an AGP port for video. so you have to get an AGP video card compatible. New video cards are PCIX capable which will not fit AGP ports.. So you can get any AGP Video card and that should work. ~jash
