    DFI or AAmax VisionTop Mobos to stay away from

    Need to replace a "bad cap" mobo so have been checking the forums for mobo available to me.

    Can get a DFI K6X v3+/66 which has 1 AGP, 4 PCI and 3 ISA slots or

    Aamax/VisionTop S7-MVP3REV.H which is similar has 1 AGP, 5 PCI and 2 ISA slots.

    Both boards use Via chipsets : VT82C598MVP
    VT82C596B

    So far I have not found anything beyond the very basic for each mobo. Do not know if this is good or bad?

    Appreciate any user experience with either or suggestions.

      Are these Super 7 boards? Super 7 is obsolete but if you really want to replace I would recommend the DFI as the other seems like a no-brand.

          Chris,

          Correct, they are both super 7 mobos. Did not list as Super 7 because all the Mobo databases tend to list them under socket 7.

          Agree they are obsolete but the use is basic text and graphics plus I have all the other parts.

          I have been searching to find out if either board has Bad CAp problems but so far nothing.

          Also have not found any websites dedicated to tweaking these boards so am guessing that either not many were sold or they were not very good for overclocking.

              probably not many were sold. DFI's current boards are the OC board of choice, wonder if they were like that back in the super 7 days.

                  Mobo MSI B550-A PRO password popup
                  by Cerberuska
                  Hello guys,
                  I have interesting problem. My MoBo MSI running on Ryzen 7 w/o graphics just good. I swapped to Ryzen 5 5600G and on the boot I stuck with screen on picture. Enter Password. I checked BIOS setting with Ryzen 7, no security is enabled, BIOS password or TPM.
                  BIOS I updated to last one.
                  any suggestions?
                  And same thing for two different 5600G, and yes, MoBo supposed to support it.
                  Thank you...

                  Dell G3 17 3779 - no display after mobo replacement
                  by mrsith
                  Hi guys,

                  I have a friend's Dell 3779 that came to me with severely shorted mobo. Did not manage to isolate the cause, most likely that was a bga shorted. Went for a replacement motherboard. Got one from China, apparently it's been tested prior to shipping. The mobo starts up normally but I am getting no display whatsoever.

                  Tried using external monitor, but being blind I am not sure if laptops goes as far as booting to Windows, a d without it I cannot get hdmi to work. Can't see boot menu options to make sure it boots to Windows. Went ahead and did a blind bios update,...

                  Corsair cx600 psu & ASRock B450Pro4 mobo wont start
                  by Ibod
                  HI I have a PC using a Corsair cx600 psu & ASRock B450 Pro4 mother board that won't power on after a shutdown (replaced a dead drive in a raid array) Not the boot drive.

                  With most things unplugged, including the 24 pin ATX connector, but not the ATX12v to cpu, I have +5.01V on the +5vsb pin 9 from the PSU. When I plug the 24 pin back in to the mobo, the +5vsb fluctuates between 1.1v & 1.9v.

                  Not sure where to go from here ?

                  Is the PSU at fault or is the mobo causing the problem

                  Look forward to any help :-)

                  If I plug the 24...

                  Dell Inspiron 14-5448 - fan turns off and mobo keeps running
                  by Felipe_Serra_83
                  Hi, everyone. First post of an actual repair. I'm a technician but a complete newbie with laptops.

                  So I got this Dell Inspiron to play with.

                  No charger, so I connected to my bench PSU.

                  The laptop also didn't include: hard disk (I added one of my own for testing, see below) and wireless PCB (but I doubt this could have anything to do with this particular failure).


                  ------What it did (and didn't do)------

                  1) I turned it on and it powered on. Powered down in 2 seconds by itself.

                  2) Removed RAM, changed slot. Same...

                  FSP-350GLN(80) not booting mobo properly
                  by tartuf
                  Greetings

                  My old 350W FSP-350GLN(80) PSU was working fine with my current computer for few years(and previously with few other computers as well). Nothing has changed in setup but since last few months I am getting problems while trying to boot PC.

                  What happens, is that PSU starts and I can hear fans, both PSU, CPU, MOBO and GPU. I can also hear HDD scratching and normal starting sounds. But DVI monitor claims that there is "no signal". Moreover, neither USB mouse nor PS2 keyboard does flash leds like it should do upon boot.

                  I have to turn PSU switch...
