Alright, so I picked up a new motherboard a couple weeks ago and slapped a celery 566 into it. I rebooted my computer a while ago and didn't notice that my CD drive wasn't detected. So I rebooted it again today, after fixing the drive cable, and it won't make it past the POST screen. Any suggestions as to how I could fix it?
System Info:
Radisys PW810 Motherboard (It was uber-cheap)
Celeron 566
128 Megs ram
20 gig Maxtor
80 Seagate
DVD-rom Drive
Matrox Millenium PCI video card
SMC network card |

Will it boot if you unplugg the CD drive.
Can you get into setup.
Someone brought me a computer that was doing that.
The floppy cable was plugged in backwards.

Even with the cables inserted properly, the machine will post, but will not get to the boot stage.
Anymore ideas floating about? | |

I loaded an older bios release and that seemed to fix the problem.
Thanks for your help. | |

its weird when that happens, but I ordered some "slot t" tualatin slockets for Dell Gx-1's...when I build my old dells I always put the newest bios on em, which is "A10".....strangely the slocket wouldnt work till I went back to A07, lol....I never would have had a clue 'cept I read it in a reseller rating review, lol.
I also had tried a socket 370 fcpga to tualatin adapter which didnt work, but after I went to the A07 bios I went back and tried it and then IT worked, lol.
Strange cuz they always tell ya to go to the latest bios
