i have this motherboard with a 550mhz processor. I can not install a OS on this PC after testing the ram and detecting the the harddisk a black screen with an arrow on top comes and it doesnt boot. There are 5 LEDs on the mother board the first one lights orange the second one red and the other 3 green. What could the problem be ? Any ideas ?
I just so a web site where there was a review on this motherboard and it says that led 2 3 4 and 5 are suppose to light green but led 2 is red on my motherboard they also said that if any lights red then i should read the user manual but i cant find it in the msi web site. Any help there ?
ok i found the user manual and it says that if led 2 is red than ` Boot Attempt . This will set low stack and boot via INT19h ` . Now what does that mean ?
use a pencil eraser on the gold contacts of the ram. try different ram if you have some. try different ide cable & maybe different hd even a small 1.
I tried installing Windows 98 , Me , 2000 , XP Pro and same thing. I dont have win 98 boot disk where can i get one from ?
I tried it and it did not work. i changed the motherboard and it works fine now. thanks for the help.
