WARNING :ELITE K7S5A DAta Corruption

what kind of data corruption are you talking about?
are you getting memory dumps?
are you loosing stuff on your hard drive?
maybe the psu is no good?
these boards are power sensative apparently.
i am thinking about getting myself an enermax just to be on the safe side...plus they have two fans.
also, there was something about the cmos battery being a crap battery, and that some people replaced the battery with a new one, and BAM, their problems dissapeared.
i dunno, but it seems that this board has problems with sensativity to power loss or fluctuation.

yeah, i get zero errors on my board.
i have run memtest86, memtest, sisoftsandra burnin wizard, toast, and anything else i could get my hands on to test this thing...
all of them ran fine.
i have a 350w psu, but it is some generic one...i will check the name on it, and check AMD's list, and get back to you on that, but since i have to take the top of my case off to see the top of the psu, and doing so requires almost a total dissasemblage of my computer, it might not be until later tonight...
so i will get back to you....
but i have no errors in memtest86 or the likes, and i let memtest86 run like 5 times straight...and no errors.
memtest ran for a couple hours...like from when i went to bed, till when i woke up, and no errors.
i did this on a rev.3 a rev.4 and a rev.5 (the one i have in my computer) and no errors on any of them..
and then there is my friend computer.
which is a rev.3
havent run memtest on it that long, but when i ran it, it reported no errors.
and he is running an athlonxp 1600+, clocked normal.
so that is 4 boards, of three different revisions, which had no errors.
only problem i encountered on one was a bad lan port, which stopped working after 2 weeks of use...
but that is just crappy manufacturing for you...cant really blame the sis735 for that.
