Hi

Its that find the right BIOS q again!

This mobo is badged as a MSI MS-7046 v1.0
I cannot find the mobo on the MSI website (sigh... again).

I belive this is an OEM mobo for advent and was having
problems powering up. The board is out of warranty
In the UK, advent tech support is not existant except
for a site ran by the TechGuys @
http://www.pcservicecall.co.uk/layout.a ... 376dd4aac3}

I seek to find the right BIOS update
Any help?

Resolved this issue

I got the mobo to run and found it was a DIXONPC OEM BIOS
I am making enquiries into whether (not) a BIOS update is available.

Board appears to be ok
