Welcome to Windrivers Crumb
Suggest you change the single stick of 512 for 2x256
memtest86 here is a good ram checker, will make a bootable cd or diskette. Let it run for at least 7 full tests per stick/slot

Nah..never makes it to reading the floppy drive. I got a good 128mb stick of Mushkin PC133 tho--might stick that in there & see if it gets any farther.
I got the reset switch to work and the power LED. I think I posted pin numbers earlier in this thread.Quote:

I have found that this board hates Windows 2000 and causes the OS to do dispicable things, like give a memory dump error on startup. Anyhow, WinXP seems to work great! Haven't tried SP2 yet, though.
What the devil is this
MTLHAL
Hardware does not support modem
MTLSTRM
Can not load HAL driver
MTLMDM
Cant open Stream Manager
I have delt with a boat load of OEM stuff and have NEVER had this much problem. Im glad I dont need it before Xmas

Your thoughts on this
Ron
This post was the most helpful resource I've found on this mobo.
Does anyone have a list on the exact processors it will take? I know it doesn't like XP processors, or generally anything faster than 1200 megahertz.
As a side note, the motherboard cooked a K7 Athlon 1.2 GHZ processor that was supposed to be compatible.
Yes, from what I understand, it is possible to change the flash from ami to award.... but you need to get Ruslan and/or Garak's opinion on that.Quote:

Note: Does not support any XP series Athlon processors
msi 6330 info
Other versions (MS-6330 LE3) do show higher processor compatibility, but do not be fooled - msi has a nasty habit of using the same model number for very different boards.
If that K7 you tried was the 133 version, it wouldn't have worked.... but it shouldn't have cooked it.
I've done this several times, and I know from talking to Ruslan that he has done also. You can use AMIFlash to do this, by turning off certain features *digs out AMIflash*Quote:

(And who said Print SCRN wasn't useful :P)
Hm. It was the 266 version. Plugged it in with the heatsink, powered it on, and next thing I know I see a wisp of smoke and smell that distinct aroma.

It flashed to the Award bios with no problems.
Rebooted and posted fine, hung up on the Award screen (press DEL to enter setup)
Used the AmiFlash and typed in the Awardflash file. Tell me how the following will (maybe) fix it
Gateway
Award recovery
Ami recovery
Thanks
Ron
Did you reset the CMOS jumper when you reflashed the BIOS? if not, do it. should make all your problems go away :devil:
*I knew there was something I forgot to mention in that earlier post..*

Thanks

Battery out all night made no difference.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid
Lets unplug the thing AND yank the battery just for the sake of argument.
