I couldn't find any information on my mother board but I did try
following the steps you outlined. I was very hopeful that things would
start going better when I pulled the video board and I got the 8 beeps
as you said I might. But it still is doing the same thing. It seems to
be corrupted somehow. So I guess that I would need to have a chip
burned especially for my particular mother board. The chances of that
happening are slim at best. I was hopeful when I saw all the AMI
bios's. Do you suppose it would hurt anything to try the last one I
found in the dead machine? Lenny


Did you check to see if there is a BIOS recovery function on the motherboard?

If not, you could try one of the BIOSes and hope it works. You may end up
with a useless motherboard, but you already have one. :-)

IMHO if the old motherboard was close enough to the new one, the BIOS
will work.
