BIOS VOLTAGE - argh...

[ForeverConnected]

I think I tried to boot...
okay, I KNOW I tried to boot with an improper bios voltage setting. I have an ecs K7vta3 1.0 Motherboard with a phoenix (award) bios installed. Well, my computer was crashing like mad, and wouldent boot, which is VERY VERY odd for my system. it's been up and running fine for MONTHS AND MONTHS on end.
Anyway, I think what happened was I was having trouble booting into windows, so I opened up my case to reset the bios defaults jumper, to see if that would help. I think I may have moved the 5v - 3.3v jumper by mistake. the system powered on, and the case (power light) was blinking like mad. I immdeately cut power, and unhooked everything, rebuilt my econnections in my case and re-seated everything.
made sure all the jumpers were correct, and now, all that happens is the case turns on, the hdd light lights up, and the case power light is off. No video. No beeping. Nothing.
*sigh*
I dunno what to do. (and that's a rare thing, seriously!)
Help me out?

Is this a RAM 5v/3.3V jumper ?

Remove everything except video card, CPU and 1 piece of RAM. Try substituting those. If it still doesn't boot, it's prpbably the motherboard. If it's under 1 year old, tell the vendor that

my computer was crashing like mad, and wouldent boot

and that now

now, all that happens is the case turns on, the hdd light lights up, and the case power light is off. No video. No beeping. Nothing

and get it replaced under warranty.

I thought that too, at first, but it's a DDR board.

5V/3.3V jumper is a flash voltage selector

@ForeverConnected :
Please re-check your jumpersetting !
Sometimes ECS has the wrong settings printed into the manual - they should be printed onto he mainboard with correct settings or get a recent manual from ECS website

Well, it's working.
yes, that was the flash voltage selector.
3.3/5v BIOS voltage.

However, I have another problem. the computer will not boot unless the fsb is set to 100mhz, therefore, my computer is not running at top speed, somewhere around 1050mhz. I think there is thermal damage to the clock generator. The processor is fine, I tested it in another machine.

Anyway. has anyone else seen this happen? I've been told it happens to K7VTa3 pcb 1.0 (which I have) but only the sd-ram model... which I don't have. =)

it booted at 133fsb once last night. stayed on, and ran, completely error free. When I rebooted, nothing.
Anyway. Any help you guys can give would be great. thanks.

oh! MerryChristmas/Happy Chanukah

CPU/System temps with FSB133 ?
PSU voltages with FSB133 ?

[ForeverConnected]

system temp with 133 - 40c
with 100 - 37c
voltage - 1.74 steady, both settings.
\=) heat is not a problem
