I am tryting to upgrade a system whose motherboard’s only visible ID is 5I VX1C. I have no idea who manufactures it.
The board has 4 EDO memory slots and 1 SDRAM memory slot. It already contains two double-sided 8MB EDO chips. I tried to insert a PC-100 64MB chip into the SDRAM slot. Extra memory was not counted at startup.
I then removed the original 16 MB EDO, and since then the computer will not even display the VIDEA BIOS information.
I have checked the output voltage from the power supply – appears to be right.
I have changed the PCI video card to another and then to an ISA video card – same results.
The system appears to start properly, lights on the devices all show properly, but the screen remains blank.
I have also connectedthe moptherboard to a different power supply, same results.
Any idea?
