TX PRO chipset motherboard with faulty BIOS
in [Home Built PC]

From: matturn on 4 Nov 2005 18:33 I have a computer with a TX PRO chipset motherboard (PC82C371TX & PC82C439TX), with a Cyrix 150MHz CPU. Unfortunately, every time I try to boot it, it doesn't even get to a BIOS loading screen. It has a fresh battery, hard drive and everything... Can anyone think of what might be wrong, or some debugging steps to work it out?

Time for an upgrade. -- DaveW ---------------- <matturn(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:1131147199.508300.52000(a)z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com... >I have a computer with a TX PRO chipset motherboard (PC82C371TX & > PC82C439TX), with a Cyrix 150MHz CPU.

Just what all would that be? > > Can anyone think of what might be wrong, or some debugging steps to > work it out? It can be almost anything, bad processor, bad motherboard, bad power supply, cable/jumper mistake. Bad memory would probably give you some beeps, assuming you have a motherboard speaker properly connected. Did it ever work? When? What's different?
