SOYO SY-P4VM800 Quick Start Guide
Stability Issue
7. My system intermittently halts on errors and becomes very unstable
1. Clear the CMOS by shorting Pin 2-3 of JP5 and reconfigure the BIOS.
2. Restore any overclock BIOS/jumper settings to default settings.
3. Check the CPU temperature in BIOS menu to see if the CPU has been overheating. If the
result is positive, change to a more power CPU cooling fan/heatsink.
4. Check the compatibility of the memory modules with the motherboard. If possible, replace
the current memory modules with verified ones and reboot.
5. Update the BIOS to the latest version.
6. The power supply might not have enough wattage to support all the peripherals. If your
system has other peripherals connected, like CD-RW, extra HDD, etc. disconnect them.
And see if the problem is gone then.
7. Install Intel Inf driver.
8. Check if your motherboard is shorting out against the case.
9. Check if your memory module timings set in CMOS setup are supported by your memory
module.
The SOYO CD
8. My system intermittently hangs during Windows installation.
1. If there are more than one memory modules, please insert only one memory module at a
time to identify the defective one(s).
2. Go to BIOS and load the optimized defaults.
3. Download the latest BIOS updates and flash utility from our website, and re-flash the
BIOS.
4. If it still has the problem, remove all other add-on cards except CPU (and CPU Fan)/
Memory/ Video card/Hard disk. See if you can finish Windows installation. Then put
peripherals in one by one to identify which one causes the lockup.
BIOS Issue
9. How do I know the BIOS version of my motherboard?
It will be displayed on the upper-left corner of the screen during boot-up. It will show as your
board type followed by the revision number, such as kvxa_2BA1 (meaning BIOS revision 2BA1
for the SY-K7V Dragon plus! board) or 6BA+ IV_2AA2 which means SY-6BA+ IV motherboard
with the 2AA2 BIOS.
