SY-P4RS300 Quick Start Guide

Is there a way to reprogram my BIOS after an unsuccessful flash?

There is no other way, you need to send back the BIOS ROM to your nearest SOYO branch for re-flashing.

VGA Issue

I cannot set my VGA to go higher than 16 color (640x 480).

1.Make sure that you have installed the ATI utility driver set.

2.Install/ re-install the VGA driver.

Audio Issue

I cannot get the sound working on my system.

1.Check if the speaker wire is connected to the line out connector in the M/B.

2.Check if your speakers are powered on.

3.Install the audio driver supplied on our driver disc.

4.Check BIOS setup if “AC97 Audio” is enabled.

5.If sound already installed, check our website for an audio driver update.

The sound is working in my system, but when I play CD music from the CD-ROM, I do not get any sound. What is wrong?

This is because the 4-wire audio cable from the CD-ROM to the on-board CDIN connector or AUX connector on the M/B is not connected. See manual for location of CDIN.

Hard disk/FDD/ CD-ROM issues

My Western digital HDD is not detected during boot-up

Change the jumper settings to cable select or single.

Sometimes the system finds my CD-ROM, sometimes not

1.Check CD-ROM if it is working properly.

2.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.

When I boot up my new computer I get "floppy boot failure" and the LED on the floppy stays on

1.Make sure the red wire of floppy ribbon cable goes to Pin1 on the floppy drive side (don't trust the "key lock" or "notch") and use the end-connector of the cable (don't use middle one).

2.Some floppy drivers have their own jumper to make the same twist as the twist on the cable. Make sure this jumper is set not to “twist” the cable while the floppy drive is connected to the twisted end of the cable.
