Question: My system (AM1/ FM2/ FM2+) won't boot up after 5 long beeps when only a CPU is installed. How do I resolve this problem?(3/1/2015) Answer: 5 long beeps mean that the system couldn't recognize the graphics.
Some AMD CPUs (i.e AMD Athlon/Sempron family CPU) don't have integrated graphics processors. When these kinds of CPUs are installed, a discrete VGA card is required. Please visit AMD's official website to check whether your CPU has integrated graphics or not: http://products.amd.com/en-gb/DesktopCPUResult.aspx

Question: How do I enable the Athlon 64 Processor's "Cool'n Quiet" throttling functionality on K8S8X?(5/15/2004) Answer: Please install AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor Driver under O/S. Enabling Cool'n Quiet involves installing a software package in the case of Windows ME and 2000 or a processor driver in the case of Windows XP. Once installed, the power management settings can be configured through the Control Panel. In the case of an Athlon 64 CPU, the CPU will run at slow speed when there is minimal loading. Additionally, the CPU core voltage is reduced to low voltage also. When the loading increases, the clock frequency will be increased in increments of the CPU speed, depending upon the load.
Question: Is there any suggestion of CPU and memory for K7S8X motherboard?(5/9/2003) Answer: With AMD FSB 200 MHz CPU like Duron, please install DDR 200, 266, or 333 SDRAM.
With AMD FSB 266 MHz CPU like Athlon XP 2000+, please install DDR 200, 266, 333, or 400 SDRAM.
With AMD FSB 333 MHz CPU like Athlon XP 2800+, please install DDR 266, 333, or 400 SDRAM.
Question: I'm using a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ processor with FSB 266MHz on K7S8X, but the FSB jumper can only set from 100, 133, 166MHz. How do I adjust to FSB 266MHz?(4/15/2003) Answer: Please understand that AMD Athlon XP 2000+ processor with FSB 266MHz is actually running with 133*2=266MHz. Please adjust the FSB jumper to 100MHz for FSB 200MHz processors, 133MHz for FSB 266MHz processors and 166MHz for 333MHz processors.
Question: Why I only see 1667MHz for my Athlon XP 2000+ CPU?(3/3/2003) Answer: 2000+ is the model number of AMD CPU, it does not represent the CPU frequency.
