Hello,
I have a working computer with a mainboard MS-6167 with a 500 MHz CPU. The opening screen says: W6167MS V1.4 111799
11/23/1999-AMD-75X-W977-6A6S2m49C-00
According to Wim's info it contains AMD 751 chipset with Award BIOS v6.00. The brand is Microstar. It runs Windows 98.
When I replace the CPU with a Thunderbird 900, the opening screen shows the following:
Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
W6167MS v1.4 111799
Main Processor: AMD Athlon(TM) 901MHz
and in the lower part of the screen:
Press DEL to enter SETUP
11/23/1999-AMD-75X-W977-6A6S2M49C-00
The next action would be testing memory but it doesn't. It stays on this screen. Pressing the DEL-key doesn't have any effect.
What could be the problem and what is the solution?
Thanks in advance,
