Board is dead. Powered up with post card installed. Card reports post code F0C1, so has passed RAM tests ok but does not seem to be able to access the BIOS.

Hi, This is an MX440SE-T i.e. NVidia GeForce 4 4X based card. It has VGA, S-Video and AV-Out (Composite). I received this card and found when used it has a series of evenly spaced thin vertical white lines at POST screen. If I enter the mobo BIOS these lines disappear. Have not tried it (to date) wi...

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).

Simple question. I believe these were used with eMachines and HP/Compaq I have two of these (Rev G mobo). Want to enrol them into router duty in N + 1 config. Can I remove the eMachines OEM logo crap as you would usually or is not worth the bother? These are after all only intel i810 mobos Any advic...

Hi, Had a problem with this mobo. Was intermittently going to reset and had problems with memory. DIMM Connector 1 was faulty - took this out. The mobo has furthermore, DIMM Slots 2 and 3. I figured this mobo would accept RAM in any socket but mobo now sits a C0, C1 post code flashing in the onboard...

Arrgh!

MSI state I cannot use the MS 6712 v1.0A KT4AV BIOS as
this is the KT400A chipset as opposed to the KT400 chipset.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

AMI BIOS recovery has failed.
Guess the BIOS Boot block has gone!

Some advice on how to hot swap would be good as
I have an MS 6712 v1.0A KT4AV Mobo (slight different)

Thx In Advance
