My PC will reboot automatically after a few minutes power on. the power supply is a brand new one , i also remove the AGP card and uses the integrated display from the motherboard. I am using Pentium 4 , with 3 gb speed and Biostar mainboard model P4M800 Pro-M7. Can anybody provide some solution on this issue ?

    Need to know if there is an error message before we go further. Have you got an anti-spyware program installed as spyware can do this. If not download / install Malwarebytes / update and scan all files. NB = If you do have one uninstall it first.
    Check that the CPU cooler fins are not clogged as it may be overheating.

SOURCE: upgrade vga & processor for elite P4M800-M7

Hi kapitan, for starters the AGP is faster than a PCI. Yes, you can upgrade to 512MB. There is a direct path to the CPU when using an AGP video card.
Elite Group has 2 P4M800-M7's. One is version 1.0 & 3.1.
Though both boards are very similar they are different when it comes to CPU support.
When you view the main pages for you're Elite Group P4M800-M7. Look to the left for CPU Supported & click it. I'll list both boards along with their link to supported CPU list. You will need to find the version number (on the board) in order to pick the correct CPU supported per version number.
Link 1, Version Number 1.0
http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=531&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Specification&MenuID=7&LanID=9
CPU's supported. V1.0
http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Support/CPU_Support_Model.aspx?detailid=531&MenuID=69&LanID=9

Link 2, Version 3.1
http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=548&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Specification&MenuID=7&LanID=9
CPU's supported V3.1
http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Support/CPU_Support_Model.aspx?detailid=548&MenuID=69&LanID=9

Depending on the version number you can reach CPU of 3.8MHz.

Hope this was helpful.
Feel free to ask if you need more service.
Good Luck!

Mike

Hi jora, it is all based on what version you're motherboard is!

EliteGroup states the P4M800-M7 v3.1 does support the dual core CPU. (It does not mention this in the manual but does state this on their main web site for the motherboard P4M800-M7 (ver 3.1). (This link).
http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?CategoryID=1&TypeID=32&DetailID=548&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=1&LanID=9

EliteGroup, supported CPU's for P4M800-M7 (ver 3.1)
http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Support/CPU_Support_Model.aspx?detailid=548&MenuID=69&LanID=9

However, EliteGroup P4M800-M7 (ver1.0) does not support dual core CPU's. (This link)
http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?CategoryID=1&TypeID=32&DetailID=531&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=1&LanID=9

Supported CPU's (v1.0) (This link).
http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Support/CPU_Support_Model.aspx?detailid=531&MenuID=69&LanID=9

So you need to find the version number of you're board.

Good Luck!

You could go as high in memory as you can find. You need to stay with the AGP bus though. Newegg has a good bunch of 512 mb AGP cards some even have DDR3 and that caught my attention.They'll set you back between 50 to 100 bucks for the realy good ones.

SOURCE: Biostar GF 7100-M7 windows xp trouble

Do you see any text at all when booting up? If so, try pressing F8 on reboot to get to the Windows Boot menu. It's not real apparent when you are supposed to do this, so once the system gets past the initial Power on Self Test, start tapping it. Select Safe Mode and see if your display loads. Set your video settings to something safe and simple like 1024 x 768. Reboot to normal Windows and begin bumping your video settings up from there until you get them where you want them.

SOURCE: my biostar P4M800 Pro-M7 only shows 1gig of ram, but i have 2gig... Wat could be the problem?

Are both chips identical ? if so

Take out the ram and replace it one stick at a time in the socket 0 or 1

If both sets of Ram work then check your instruction book on the motherboard and see what is the maximum ram it will take .

Get a copy of Memtest86+ from www.memtest.org
and run it on both chips , that will show if there is any errors on them.

Hi, what you have not tested for isolation is your power supply, re-seating of processor for 20 minutes, cmos clearing or battery removal and mother board swapping. If all your isolation seems futile the worst is the mother board.

Are there any video cards that you can use to upgrade the 530g? I have seen posts that the power supply is an issue. If it is possible is it a matter of installing the card and disabling the onboard...

Your pc has a special graphics expansion port - AGP x8

You can insert any graphics cards which will fit the port. Check carefully, there are quite a few different types of graphics port.

Once inserted, boot up the PC, and insert the disk you should get with the card, it will have all the relevant drivers.

There should be no need to alter the bios settings, the new card will be identified by the boot process.

If power supply does become an issue, you will need to upgrade the PSU (Power Supply Unit).

How do i install a better graphics card

Start by Identifying what type of Card you need to buy. The Manual would be Extremely helpful in identifying What type of Video card slot you have. If that option is out you can look in the device manager and that should tell you what type.

There are many types For any modern Cards your Hoping for an AGP or PCIe Slot bare minimum you need a pci slot.

If you have a Vesa or ISA slot you'd be better off spending money on a new Motherboard & CPU

Once you know what type of card to buy PCI, AGP, or PCIe go out and look for the best card that fits your budget and that your PC meets its requirements

Most new Vid cards require a power supply connection or sometimes two or a special power supply adapter in addition to the available card slot PCIe comes in different speeds x1 x8 an x16 Make sure you have the right one that your card needs before buying. AGP likewise comes in 2 varieties AGP and AGP2 they have a different pin count on their edge connector so make sure what connector it has. PCI just about every semi modern PC has at least 2 PCI slots question is are the currently filled with other cards

Once you've purchased your card, you need to determine if you have an integrated video card.
This would be a video connection that is built into your motherboard.
If you do then you need to look up how to enter your BIOS to disable it (Usually pressing<Delete> or <F12> during boot up. Then go through and change the on board video card to disabled

press <F10> to save and exit
power down PC
Unplug power cord
Remove case cover and install new Video card
Replace case cover and plug back in
Boot up PC
Get Operating system up
insert the CD that came with the new card to install drivers and utilities (Another alternative is to go to the website for the GPU or card manufacturer and get the latest drivers) [ often times the drivers on the install disc are already outdated]

reboot ....... Congratulations your need Vid Card is install Now go play that game your dying to beat ;)

Hope this helps

Won't boot

You will need to flash the graphics bios of you comp. Put the CD that you got along with the Card and reboot your computer and then follow the onscreen instructions to flash it.

Let me know if you need more help!

Installed new graphics card and Windows won't start

If your new video card has a power connector, make sure it is connected to a power plug. If you already did that, it's possible your PC's power supply doesn't have enough power to run all your connected equipment.

To get your old card running, hit F8 repeatedly during boot-up until you get the boot options. Select VGA mode. It should boot up properly then.

Once booted into VGA mode, set your screen resolution to something simple like 1024x768 or 800x600, then reboot.

If that doesn't work, try hitting F5 repeatedly during boot-up to boot into Safe mode. You can then adjust your settings again there.

Video signal

If it worked fine before the AGP card was removed then the problem is probably related to your BIOS settings. The BIOS setting that controls the integrated video may be set to OFF.
  1. Insert an AGP video card
  2. connect the monitor to the card
  3. boot to BIOS
  4. check settings
  5. turn ON integrated video
  6. save and exit BIOS
  7. shutdown
  8. Remove AGP card
  9. connect monitor to motherboard video port.
  10. Reboot.

What happened?

Will not accept new agp video card

Did you try and change the power supply? Maybe the power supply is faulty since u say it keeps rebooting. Since you do not see anything on the screen (the bios is not executed, could b a problem with the power supply. Do you get any beeps?)
