Hi...
Maybe someone has experience with this board...
I inherited this motherboard (FIC KA-6100) from a friend and
I want to make it work. It used to work before it started gathering
dust
when the HDD went...
Anyway, from what I can determine, the CPU is a 233 MHZ Pentium II
(deschutes)
overclocked to 350 Mhz. This system is unstable as hell !!!
Most of the time, it will hang at the BIOS screen...sometimes, if I'm
lucky, I will be able to work in VGA mode with Win 98 SE for a few
hours
before it hangs...
I have tried different video card (PCI, AGP), different RAM (PC100,
PC133)...
I am getting frustrated...
What is the best memory type I should use with this board ?
PC100 ? What about the BIOS settings ?
I tried different settings;usually put the RAM settings at the slowest
settings...
What am I doing wrong ?
Someone out there with experience with this board?
Another question...this board did not come with the USB connector
or PS/2 mouse connector. Right now, I am stuck with using a serial
mouse...
The header pins are not standard, to my knowledge.
It is a 5-pin header with one pin missing ( like this: |o ooo| )
Is this standard ?
Also, I was able to find a USB cable to find the board.
I am using Win 98 SE and when I connect a device to it, Win 98 freezes
up.
I believe I have installed the VIA 4-in-1 driver.
What could been causing this ?
I am using the lastest BIOS version.
BTW, I am unable to detect more than 33 GB from my 60 GB Maxtor drive;
I have to use a jumper to detect only 33 MB.
If you have any advice, please let me know
