    I have a big problem. I bought an ecs k7s5a pro motherboard. I put together all the parts of the new computer with a 1.4ghz amd duron processor. When i turn on the system and let it startup, it doesnt startup to windows. It just says enter current password then the keyboard freezes. The biggest problem i have is that the keyboard freezes!!! Does anyone knoe what i can do?

    Hi, try running your cpu with a 100fsb instead of 133. The S5A's had a lot of problems early on with running at high FSB, try this to see if its your problem.
    Hope it helps.

    Also check the memory. Worse comes to worse, dismantle the machine and reassemble it. :)

    And for future note: stay far away from ECS.
