G'day Folks,
Well I have another MOBO, this time a Gigabyte GA-7DXR+ that doesn't want to co-operate, and have had it running with an XP1800+, ie 1.533G, and it was working fine with that CPU, and wanted to up the tempo and have dropped an XP2400+ 2 Gig CPU into it, and rewired everything, but have an amber LED lit up on the MOBO just behind the Floppy Connector on the MOBO and a NO SIGNAL on the the dreaded BLACK Screen ......
I hear you cry why change it, if it worked then !!!!!
Because I want to drop the 1800+ into a SOYO SY-K7ADA, which only has an ALi Magik1Chipset, and they usually only take up to approx 1.4G, and so did the next logical thing and decided to make use of both boards, as the BIOS Chip section on an MSI 6330 Ver5 Award BIOS is 3.6, when the automatic Live Update 2 decided it was time to upgrade to a BIOS of 3.9, of which there is no such animal, and so totally confused the BIOS, so that on Bootup, it would just say can't read Drive A, and that was that, end of story ..... Just get the BIOS Chip reset ? I was taking it out and the locking plate came off the board and stuffed it !!!!!! :hammer:
So I buy another board that had a nice little 1800 on it to replace it but had to go to make two puters out of more spare parts, of about three or four different dismantled machines, when I was also offerred another case and PSU etc and thought how good's this !!!!!!! So we are now back to the top of the page :blah: :blah: :blah:
Anyone have any ideas on this little LED that's behind the Floppy Socket ? :shrug: :confused:
