Im hopping someone else has experience with this board that could chime in. Here are the list of problems im having. I m just trying everything one last time with this board before a pitch it.
1. Most of the time the board does not want to fire up at all, I have to pull the plug and let it sit for a bit and it fire and I can reboot it a few time before it starts doing it again. yes ive tried using one stick and booting with minimum stuff connected to it, still does the same crap.
2.These boards have problems booting windows 7 unless you grab the boot loader from vista and for some reason now I cant get to boot my XP disc.
3. Does not want to boot with more the one stick of ram.
4. Website says it can handle a P4 @ 3.4GHz, but when I put one in it only displays 2.80GHz.
Specs are:
CPU: Right now a 2.60GHz P4
RAM: just one 1GB DDR
Video: Radeon x1600 256MB AGP
PSU: Antec earthwatts 380w Good working psu, was used with a core 2 quad.
Motherboard: https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/865G_N … own-driver&null and yes I have the latest bios installed. No popped caps, the board looks almost brand new.
