I'm trying to get an old Gateway 486/33 PC running. When I boot I get ISA configuration error. I've built PC from the motherboard up but haven't seen this before. What is it?

Does your add in cards work with jumpers to specify the IRQ and addresses? Try clearing CMOS.

Cleared CMOS by unplugging power, power supply and CMOS battery. Plugged it back in today and it seems OK.

Since you say this machine boots you either have have a jumper on a card set wrong, a MOB jumper off, or a BIOS setting misconfigured. No exceptions. Check all.

Sounds like the proper steps but I think I had hit them all This PC had cards but all were removed. U think that may have been where the problem started. No jumpers were moved anywhere and the Bios has been gone through several times.
