K7S5A Pro / Modem problems

Try disabling advanced power management in BIOS first before replacing the
modem with a recommended brand.

Modern motherboards still keep 3.3 V flowing through the PCI bus in a soft
shutdown; it's meant to detect Wake-on-LAN devices. For some people building
PCs from scratch, this has lead to a few dead Athlons when the user plugged
in a PCI card before installing a heat sink on the CPU... Always unplug the
power cord when servicing internal components.
