That means the battery is empty, replace with a new CR2032 one. And check voltages in BIOS in the pc health section. Of course after you replace it you need to reconfigure the settings and save. Where do I find the PC health section from here?. 20220909_055252.jpg Not all motherboards had such a …

Well, it was apparently very affordable (was 25$ to 40$ when new) and didn't review disastrously [1]. On the plus side, it seems to be OK at handling mainly 5V loads. So assuming it is still in working order and in-spec, it should be a lot better than your original one . [1] https://www. …

The battery from another board of this vintage will probably also be dead (unless it was changed less than 10 or so years ago). I don't believe it is causing the shutdown issue, but wanted to point that out as as something to eventually address. As for the PSU voltages, first you should consider …

What modern PSU brand model will you be using ? Will it be new ? Sort of. It would be a EVGA 450 BT from 4 years ago. This guy used it for his build and that's where I got the idea of using a modern PSU and will use the model Tech Tangents used just to be sure it would actually work. Well, it was …

A 400MHz Celeron should run at 2.0 volts. 2.6 volts seems a bit high, as in 30% higher than nominal. I haven't checked the datasheet to see if that is "tolerable", but it definitely won't help thermals and may impact stability as a result. Also, the CMOS battery is dead . Finally, and possibly most …

That clear CMOS thing didn't make sense. PSU is bad, replace it. May be the motherboard too. I sticking with the motherboard that I already replaced. Replacement PSU that's modern so nothing would go wrong (hopefully) might be a go. What modern PSU brand model will you be using ? Will it be new ? …

I'd be more immediately worried about the psu. Is it known good? Is it newer or older? If its older, is the input voltage correctly set? I was thinking that the PSU which is older ie period corrected from the Win 98 era (don't know when it came out as I didn't build the PC) might be the cause and …

If the diagnostic LEDs on each MSI board have the same meaning, this table may be useful. I didn't find it in MS-6153 manual on MSI webpage (probably because it is for ver:1.0 of the board). green-red-green-red (1-0-1-0) is Test shadow memory .

I'm very stupid with computers so please watch this video I made of what the computer does when I power it on and look at the condition of the motherboard and it's LED lights to try to identify what the problem is and if you have a fix for it, please tell me. 😟 The motherboard is a MSI MS-6153 VER …
