Hello.
I bought at second hand for a very low price this type of MB(MSI 5184 ver 1).I installed a Intel pentium Proc. at 233 and MMX.All work was done acording to the manual which i downloaded from the internet!
When i am powering it upall i see it's a blank screen and nothing in rest .I can hear the HDD as it 's initialized the CD-ROM the keyboard ,etc.The PCI conn. are powered and it also has an agp slot,i tried with an agp VGA and also with an PCI VGA board and both of them displayed nothing.The bios it's an award on a winbond W29c020-12 Chip flashable at 5 V as i know.I already hot flashed it in a working board with the latest release from the MSI web server.Put it back in his MB and still the same no boot.I checked the voltage on the VPP pin on the MSI board and i measured 12V and this chip it's flashable at 5V and maybe this 12V on the VPP pin erase it and as a result ,no boot!!!!CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE?or could the board be damaged?If there shouldn 't be 12V then which part it's at fault or how can i drop the voltage to 5V????????
I repeat the keyboard it liting up the cd-rom the hdd it's initializing and then hangs up with that blank screen!The floppy it's not been accessed by the boot block as award does and also the proc it's receiving current.
I tryied with diferent procs but same result(Cyryx 6x86 MX Pr 200,intel pentium 150 )I used a 32 dimm and two 16M simm's..
What could halt this board from booting ?
Please ,any advise appreciated/
Thank you very very much
