Hello. I have this PCchips m915i that I finally got around to getting some ram and a cpu for. The system will not post (or even beep an error code for that matter) I'm not sure if my jumper settings are all just wrong, if this board is at fault, or I need to flash the rom. CPU is an AM5x86 133 ADZ and There is a 64 mb fpm simm socketed.

Thanks for your time!

When in doubt, throw a couple Xeons at it.

Oh well, I suppose it looks nice as a wall hanger at least. I suppose I could attempt to reflash the bios chip in case thats it (I have to flash another system already so I might as well get a programer)

Does board comes with a one-time-programmable (OTP) EPROM chip? If so, it seems unlikely it became corrupt.

PC Chips spent the money for a UV erasable EPROM? That surprises me. I think mine came with a OTP EPROM.
