HI can anyone help me just put this new board in my computer with a
new 1.6 duron and it powers up for about 2 seconds and closes down the
power.
If I take the processor out the the board powers up ok
I have just rebuilt a system with this motherboard, it is working
faultlessly but it took a bit of fiddling to get it so. I think I have read
somewhere that the original BIOS does not recognise the new Durons. You may
have to upgrade the BIOS from
www.syntaxusa.com to get the system working,
but on my last visit the web site was in a terrible mess with dead links all
over the place. Try running it with a Morgan or a Palamino to check my
theory, there is a useful forum on
www.ebuyer.co.uk web site about this
board, you have to navigate to the product and then read the customer
feedback.
