I am just hoping against hope that someone will have a brilliant suggestion for this problem before I have to replace my system board. Here’s the scenario. I have a PC Chips motherboard M585LMR v 1.2. I tried upgrading from an AMD K6-2 300 at 66 busspeed to an AMD K6-2 500 at 100 bus speed. The documentation with my board says it supports all AMD K6-2 up to 100, so I figured no problem. Well after installing the new CPU (supposed to plug and play compatible so no jumpers to worry about on the board) the system booted and ran for about 6 days, however, I kept having reset problems with the registry. Registry checker kept giving me the error message “registry checker could not access the registry, replacing with backup…etc.” and I could not get my email from my pop3 account, and DNS errors on web pages, although I could connect with my ISP, no problem. After trying to resolve the registry problems for a few days, I finally decided just to reset the CMOS jumper to clear the CMOS memory and start from the beginning. BIG MISTAKE! That’
s when the trouble really began. Now I cannot boot at all. No beeps, no nothing. (I have AWARD bios version 4.51pg dated 5-25-99 which, as far as I can tell has no audio error beeps, except for video), any way I cannot boot up. Power supply appears to be OK. Voltages check out and red light comes on, power fan runs, etc. Any brilliant ideas as to what to do. Is there any other possible answer besides that the motherboard has given up the ghost?Please help if you have any thoughts. Thanks.
