Subchapters: DDR & SDR | How to install DDR (184 pins) or SDRam (168 pins) | Blank Screen |

Can I install DDR and SDR SDRAM together on this mainboard?

No. Since there is a voltage difference between DDR and SDR SDRAM, using DDR in conjunction with SDR SDRAM may cause permanent damage to both mainboard and memory used.

How to install DDR (184 pins) or SDRam (168 pins)

When you want to install SDRam memory, please follow pictures as below.

Blank Screen after driver installing

After installing the driver for ATI series AGP 4x VGA card on MV42N mainboard, why do I get a blank screen? Then no matter what I do, system powers up but still blank screen.

Please follow the following steps to avoid the problems :

  • Disable AGP 4x mode or change to 2x mode in Bios
  • Install O.S
  • Install VIA 4-in-1 drivers (4.29V or later)
  • Install ATI VGA driver
  • Enter to O.S
  • Restart the system and go back to Bios Setup to enable AGP 4x mode.
