I couldn't read the reply to my last post in the
configuration section, so I will post this here and maybe
I won't get the now infamous "message unavailable" reply.

I have replaced my system board with an MSI KM2M Combo-L
which is supposed to support 2 gigs of RAM. I have
loaded 2 moduals 512 DDR and cannot get it to boot past
post with out locking up. If it does get past post, it
will not run after login. I have swapped both sticks out
and can run just fine with either if only running 512
(DDR or SD, but never both at the same time), the bios
has been updated and MAXMEM in the boot.ini has been set
to an unlimited number (no check mark in box). I am
running an Athlon 1.3 processor and have had no problems
with it on the old board.

Any new ideas that maybe I haven't tried??
 
Try entering the BIOS,exit page,select "load set-up defaults",then sav
changesand exit.If you had/have to configure add-in cards re-enter BIO
and select the item(s),then save and exit.
 
The changed mobo will require a repair install
