Strange, I have had a MSI KT266A board with an AthlonXP 1800 running on it for ages now...
not a problem, other then getting linux to use it, and once I got that sorted, all was well.. keep persevering.. MSI make good boards... I have had several of them,, rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Lee Roberts Sent: Thursday, 17 January 2002 10:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] 2 bad K7T266 mobos? Nope. No beeps whatsover. No video display. Nothing. The CPU fan runs though and I hear some noise from the drives as I normally do. The D-panel diagnostic lights are all red. The manual says that combo of colors indicates a bad CPU but when I talked to MSI tech support last week the tech said if I don't hear any beeps it's a bad mobo. But, 2 in a row? If so, I think I'll return the board and go with some other vendor. At 10:49 AM 1/17/2002 +0000, Nick Thompson wrote: >Lee, > >What /exactly/ do you mean by boot?
