Old LuckyStar Motherboard Manual and Diagram Layout

[LiquidWrench]

I have a Motherboard that I bought in 2004 I think. I have used it and it has operated flawlessly since. Just recently I reinstalled it into another cabinet and made a few enhancements. The changes made are as folllows:

I upgraded the RAM from 512MB SDRAM to 639 MB SDRAM.
I disabled the onboard sound and added a Sound Blaster PCI 128 Sound Card.
I removed the generic PCI Video card and replaced with ATI RAGE 128 AGP Video Card.

When I start the machine I get a warning beep in an evenly spaced pattern, such as beeeep.....beeeep.....beeeep.....beeeep.....beeeep.....beeeep.
I then shut the machine off and use the bios reset jumper and clear the bios. After this the machine starts and all equipment operates properly, except for the sound card which requires onboard to be disabled first. The computer will operate flawlessly until I shut down again. When I start it back up I have to reset the bios as before even if I have made NO changes to it. I have searched the WEB and cannot find a manual ANYWHERE. The closest I have come was a virus infected file from driverguide.com.

Here are the Motherboard Specs:

Can anyone please Help? Every search I do says that it is was made by LuckyStar but they are now defunct and all links I can find to this mobo are no good or have no info.

Thanx in advance for all of the efforts.

sounds like something simple is the cause.
easiest solution is to reverse those upgrades you made. i'd focus on the memory since even a difference in timing will cause trouble on some boards. remove all but a single original stick and try a BootCD. If the system runs 100% with 1 memory stick try adding another.
May have to try each stick separately to completely rule them out as the cause then focus on those other upgrades.

When you changed motherboards did you format/reinstall the operating system? If there was a working Windows system for the old motherboard swapping it to the LuckyStar which has a different chipset will cause tons of errors. you'll have to format then reinstall, do the above reverse steps first just incase you are lucky and hit on it.

I have a 6VA694/6VA694+ manual here, will check if I can find more...

replace the CR2032 coin cel battery first.
