I continue with other tested motherboards, the next one I'll try will always be an ASUS, M3N78-EM socket AM2, with 3GB of DDR2 RAM (1GB X3), maybe originally there were four modules, but one got lost, as the CPU doesn't i know which one is there, i'll read from the bios screen the frequency and type …

I continued the updates on the ASUS P55T2P4, the video card was changed with the 4MB S3, the RAM went from 16 to 32MB, having added two more identical SIMMs. For the moment I haven't added a sound card, I haven't decided which one to put, I've added the ASUS MIR card with USB ports, but it needs to …

A few days ago, I got hold of an ASUS P55T2P4, a socket 7 with HX chipset, the card is working, and currently it is configured with a P.MMX 200MHz and 16MB of Ram (2x8MB 72 pin), later I will update the RAM adding another 16MB, reaching a total of 32MB (4x8MB), unfortunately I don't have four larger …

I temporarily put aside the two S.7 motherboards, Compaq Camaro and PCChips M550, right now I don't have the time to download and update the BIOS, for one of them I should try from the floppy disk, the other having the soldered chip, it's more complicated, maybe I should self-build an MF adapter to …

Tried the Acer i5 MB, it worked, it booted without any problems, even though strangely, the post card doesn't show any code. I remember that: Motherboard is Acer, model is H61H2-AM3 V.1.0, CPU is 3.1GHz 3rd generation i5 (quad core), video and audio is integrated, LAN is also integrated, but I need …

Today I will try the Acer MB with intel i5, at the moment I don't think it can be considered an old card, but having more than ten years, it will be in a few years. Initially I will try it with the minimum hw necessary, both video and audio are integrated, there would also be LAN, but according to …

An AMD K6-2+ 400MHz arrived today, a cpu with integrated L2 cache (128KB), this can be used on motherboards with VCORE lower than 2.0V, but I know that they can also be used with voltages up to 2.1V, obviously if you is below 2.0V will be better. A lot depends on the motherboard, usually the …

Small update on the M550, to avoid any doubts I performed the CMOS drl reset, moving the jumper (reset shortly after), unfortunately nothing has changed, the post card hangs on the same error code, and the floppy drive tries the reading on floppy (even if not inserted), at each failed reading …

I temporarily put aside the Camaro, to devote myself to a PCChips M550, in reality it is the same but it is of a different brand, as you can see it has more names, but it is always the same motherboard, both were bought by the same person, and according to him, they were working, reality showed that …

I have an identical card, it had some faults, two I fixed, one was the Dallas-like chip, I made a change, but it only serves to store in the BIOS, it had a completely flat battery, the first problem was with the RAM, fixed by doing a bridge over a track in the back, the last problem (which I haven't …

So, in the past I have tried to modify both an adapter (similar or equal), and a Celeron 1000T., the Celeron to fit MB Coppermine, the adapter to make it Coppermine compatible. The question I would ask is if that was already the case, or did you put the CPU, and if that CPU is modified (in the PINs) …

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to do any more measurements on the Camaro today, so far, I don't see any outliers or missing voltages. But I'll spend some more time trying to figure out what's wrong, and if I can finally get it going. That's not the only board I have in repair, I have various …

I try again to work on the Compaq Camaro problem, for those who have not read what was previously written, I can say that the card starts up, but the screen remains black, and the PCI Post Card stops on 2F 2E codes, even if once the 2F code went fine, moving on to the next one. I tried booting …

Today I tested the Compaq Camaro (Mitac 5114VU) motherboard, unfortunately I didn't get any screen shots, I checked the jumper settings, and they are all right, I tried various RAMs, to no avail, the board doesn't need anything else besides the RAM and the CPU, the VIA MVP4 chipset has both video …
