SY-7VCM Quick Start Guide Quick Trouble shoot tips Video (no display) related issues I built a new computer system using a Soyo board and nothing happens when turning it on, no video and no beeps from the PC speaker. What is happening and how can it be fixed? No screen and no beeps mean that your CPU and motherboard do not work at all. It could be that the CPU is not seated correctly or that a component on the M/B is grounded (shorted) with the case.
SY-7VCM Quick Start Guide the AGP card to allow the card to go further down. Do take care not to damage the card by using too much force. I get distorted video my AGP card right after I save my bios. Why is that? The cause is likely that your AGP card is not running at the correct bus speed. To fix this, please clear the CMOS via JP5 and if it still does not work, please upgrade your motherboard bios to the latest version.
SY-7VCM Quick Start Guide Audio Issues I do not get any sound from my sound card. What could be wrong? Please make sure the speaker is connected to the speaker out port on your sound card. In Device Manager, I keep getting yellow exclamation signs on my sound port even though I have installed my sound driver several times and I could not get my sound card to work. What is wrong? It is likely that you did not have the correct driver installed.
