The photo corresponding with a atc-6240 v3, in my motherboard book dont asy anything about Pentium III, but my micro is a piii-450.

Good morning to all:
Yesterday i was reading the document above related and it's say that if my PCB (¿Plastic Card Board?) is green, it's a 6240V1. I dismout the mother board and i can't see anything more.
With this information, i install del 6240118a.bin file in the bios and clear the CMOS.
I continue like at first, (except that i can see the 80gb hd).
If i try to install the w2000, this say me that the disk is bad and that he can repare it.
If i install the old Hd (8gb), with w98 install, when i go to copy a directory, the pc shut down with a error that say that i have a error cache (¿LC1?) VXD.
If i start a problem like edonkey, the pc reboot.
I can do anything.
please, ¿can anybody help me?.
¿is there a problem with the setup configuration or my bios is working bad?, with the original bios i haven't anyproblem.
thanks.

You shouldn't have started a new thread.
Anyway, try using version 117A from:
ftp://ftp.univ-lille1.fr/pub/vendor/atr ... -6240V1.0/
And by the way, do you have a BX or ZX chipset?
zx or bx?

PWA - you guessed
any other names for a PCB ?
