Hi everyone,
I have had this board in storage for years but decided to make it this year I use it to build a dedicated WIndows 95 machine. It came pre-loaded with an AMD DX4/100 and 32MB RAM. I have added a coin battery to the conveniently-placed slot for one in the corner, and powered it on yesterday - and got no life.
I have a POST card, and it was showing nothing as well. I've since discovered the CPU was installed the wrong way round, which I've remedied and now I have some activity, but still not normal functionality.
I'm using an S3 VirGE/DX for video, which I bought recently verified working. 50% of the time I attempt boot, the monitor wakes but there's no image. The POST codes are erratic and it tends to switch between several behaviours - the most common are in the pictures attached. I've also included the manual's interpretation of what the errors mean - it's AMIBIOS.
Any ideas what I should do?
