Dv9000 Mainboards (ewww !)

Are all the 9000 series boards the same shape/size, I am going to change a dv9689 board anyway so i was wondering what other ones would fit, maybe with better graphics (256 to 512)?
I know dv9700's fit inside a dv9500, just wondered about the rest.
Anyone know?
Regards
Mark

  • Windows 8 64-bit install on 970a-g46 Mainboard AHCI and NVIDIA DRIVER issues

    My Box:
    MSI 970A-G46
    BIOS 1.9  (AUG 2012) (Tried 1.11 but the nightmare started then)
    AMD FX-6100 (STOCK SPEED AND SETTINGS) WITH OEM HSF
    16GB PATRIOT VIPER 3 (1866) RUNNING @ (1600)
    USED an EVGA 9800GT 1ST AND UPGRADED TO NVIDIA REFERENCE CARD GTX 550 Ti (1GB) WITH SAME ISSUES
    90gb MonsterDigital Daytona SATA III SSD DRIVE (OS and minimal programs)
    Antec HE 550
    I am at a point of pulling my hair out. I decided to upgrade my system to enhance Diablo III game play. I got a combo deal on the mainboard and cpu, and thought the speed of the game caching on a SSD would also help. The first attempt which took a little struggle was Vista 64-bit. Eventually, I was able to get the OS to work with me, and it was smooth.  Since M$ decided to offer the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for only $39.99, I thought, what do I had to lose. Well….lots of time. Now, I am not a newbie, though SSD drives haven’t been more than an interesting thought. So yes, I read many guides on everything from Trim enabled Win 7 and 8, and many other do’s and don’ts. What is driving me to the Netherlands of hell, is the installation and how buggy it has been. It boils down to drivers for the IDE/SATA/AHCI CONTROLLER. First, even thought it “sees”  the SSD on installation drive selection, after pulling the USB installation drive, the system forgets it, and there is a “problem with the boot sector”. If you load the driver from the AMD site, it lets the install occur “fine”, but there is an issue with that driver which causes an irq conflict which leads to D3 audio issues and freeze ups. I did finally get things in order (not sure which driver I choose for that), and things were smooth, except I tried to install the GTX 550 ti and that led to a corrupt file error, which the system runs a check disk and cycles the “preparing to repair” and “diagnosing PC” a few times and never allows me to enter SAFE MODE (shift+f8), to disable the NVIDIA driver that is buggy, and doesn’t allow for the NVIDIA Control Panel to install without losing video, and starts the repair cycles again… Leading to ANOTHER RE-INSTALL...
    My question, for the Windows 8 Pro installation on the 970a-G46 mainboard and then after install is complete, which driver is the correct choice for the AHCI/SATA Controller?  All I find is Win7 64-bit AHCI inf’s, and SB7XX 64-bit inf’s (no SB950 INF). The Driver disk which came with the mainboard is very dated pre Win 8 stuff, ASMEDIA X106 which are not recognized by the OS as written for Win 8. AMD’s latest drivers are the ones causing the IRQ type lags and corruption.
    What version, build and type of Windows 8 installations have you used on this mainboard, and what drivers allowed you install it without the above conflicts? Your input may decrease my insanity… So, thank you in advance…

    I understand what you are telling me,  only the generic drivers deliver subpar results. What is the point of running those drivers instead of windows 8 certified drivers written for said devices. My last install is functioning better, but still windows update fails every attempt, the apps i install (ie. weather bug) on the start screen wont load... to me windows 8 is a big fail....but that is just my view...
    OK...I also own the 970a G46, and my upgrade experience from Win7 x64 AHCI to Win8 x64 AHCI was flawless the first time.  No problems at all.  You are running an AMD chipset board with a nVidia gpu, which means that your chipset drivers are not automatically updated with every gpu driver update you do--this would happen automatically if you owned an AMD gpu because AMD includes them in its gpu driver install packages.  But--all you have to do to get the proper drivers for your motherboard is go here and download them.  You only need the *chipset drivers* from this page--you do not need the RAID drivers, of course.  That's it.  It's no big deal, and back in the days when nVidia was making motherboard chipsets you had to separately download both the motherboard chipset drivers from nVidia and the AMD gpu drivers from AMD if you did not also own a nVidia gpu.
    From your description of your problems it sounds like your installation of Win8 is hosed and you need to format C:\ and clean install from scratch, anyway, so...
    A note about AHCI--the *ideal* way to install the AHCI drivers is prior to installing your OS for the first time, you enter the UEFI and set "AHCI" in the appropriate place, instead of IDE, and *then* you reboot from DVD and install your OS which will automatically install the correct AHCI driver from Windows.  After the driver installation is complete you should then install the updated 970a drivers from AMD as linked above.
    However, it is actually very easy to activate and install AHCI *after* you have installed Windows in normal IDE mode:
    To enable AHCI in existing Windows 8 IDE Installation's
    Caution: Do NOT enable AHCI in UEFI prior to making the following changes in your Registry! If you had AHCI enabled alreadyin UEFI, disable it first and restart your computer!
    Use WinKey + R and type Regedit in the command line and hit the Enter key, this will open the Registration Editor.
    Go to:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/iaStorV
        right click on Start, select Modify and set Data Value to 0
    Close Registration Editor and restart computer.
    While booting,  open the UEFI Page and set the SATA Mode to AHCI from IDE
    Save UEFI settings and restart.
    Windows will now install the AHCI drivers automatically and they should work without issues.
    In order to avoid installation problems just like you have been experiencing, here is what I would do in your shoes:
    1) Set UEFI for normal IDE drive mode
    2) Reboot into IDE mode and install your OS
    3) After you have finished with the installation, you should be having no troubles in IDE mode.  Then go to the instructions above on how to properly enable AHCI *after* you have installed Windows 8 in normal IDE mode.
    4) After everything is coming up roses in AHCI mode and you are having no problems, then install the AMD chipset drivers as linked above and you are golden. 
    Those 4 steps worked perfectly for me the first time (the first time I got them right, that is...).
    There's nothing wrong with Win8--this is strictly operator error caused by insufficient research into what AHCI is and how to properly enable it.  The Internet has some bad info on Win8 registry settings for AHCI because of the developer preview and the consumer preview versions of Win8 that Microsoft released to the public prior to the final shipping build--many "instructions" for Win8 are therefore not valid for the shipping version of Win8.  At first I made some of the same goofs that you did, but now you get to benefit from my hard-won experience...  Good luck! Should work like a charm. And, registry AHCI is done differently in Win8 than it is done in Win7 or Vista.  Also, the registry settings relative to AHCI in Windows 8 for AMD are different from the registry values that must be changed for an Intel controller.
    Parenthetically, My FX-6300 (Vishera) will be here in a couple of days! Yeah!

  • Broken component on MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU mainboard.

    Hi Everyone,
    A friend of mine has an MSI mainboard which has a broken component due to his screwdriver slipping off the CPU clamp while installing a new CPU.  
    The mainboard is an MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0
    The broken component is next to the CPU socket (between the CPU socket and the chipset fan) and is labelled  L14 on the mainboard.  
    I believe it is a Ferrite bead inductor/choke.
    We have been unable to find the broken part and would like to replace it.  I can fit a new component if I can find out the value of the broken inductor/choke in millihenries or microhenries or picohenries.
    Would someone with an - MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0 - mainboard, please take a look at the component labelled  L14 and let me know what the numbers on that particular component are?
    You will probably need a magnifying glass to do this, unless your eyes are very good!
    If you know the value of this component, please help!
    I would welcome any information on this, it's a shame to scrap a mainboard because of a component costing only a few cents/pence.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who helps on this, I appreciate you taking time and trouble to help.
    Dave - needtoknow.

    Hi Bas,
    I got the part I needed but not from MSI, they would not sell me one, so I went to a USA company called Mouser Electronics.
    http://www.mouser.com/
    The part cost me only 34 cents US, shipping was $6.00!  So for about £4.00 UK I can fix the board.  Better than £20.00 by far.
    You can order even very small parts from mouser as a one off, something you can't do with most UK companies. Their range of stock is *huge*.
    Thank you very much for getting the info about the part from MSI for me. I could not have repaired it if you had not helped me with that, so I owe you.
    Dave, needtoknow.

  • HDMI port not working on my 760GM Mainboard

    I think the problem is the PCI Express GeoForce 8400 Video Card is turning off my 760GM mainboard integrated HDMI port.  Is there a way to work around this or do I need to replace the card with one that had an HDMI port in it?

    >> Posting Guide <<
     If you have a separate video card installed you will not have any output from any onboard video ports. You can try a DVI/HDMI adapter or get a card that has HDMI port.

  • Flashing bios + ME ofZ87-G45 Gaming Mainboard from 1.5 to the latest 1.9.

    I  have been reading and watching a lot of videos on the subject..including the general threads here.
    So my understanding has become ...  do not use  liveupdate 6 (mine can't even tell what I have installed).  M-flash is the official way to flash bios and it works well if you choose uefi + ME.
    I want to flash my bios because my USB 3 front ports have always been flaky and hoping for a bit more system stability (4 cpu hardware corrected errors since put together system in march) and in ultra rare case  system will become unresponsive. Plus, will have room to upgrade to new cpu in future.
    I did not enable the overclocking in the bios, but it is enabled.  From what I have read ..is it then true that I must disable this before flashing?
    I have also downloaded the 1.9 bios for my Z87-G45 Gaming Mainboard and placed it on a USB 2.0 flash drive that must be plugged into a back usb 2.0 port (though mouse and keyboard are in the legacy ports).
    My understanding is that I simply have to boot into the bios ...with the usb stick plugged in ..  disable the overclocking and then choose upgrade uefi bios + ME.   choose the file  listed and wait.  When it is flashed, it will reboot and then flash ME.
    My question here is .. how will it flash ME?  does the bios file also have the ME information?
    And after the bios is successfully updated  and set back to how it was set before the flash ...  the last step, I understand ..is to install the ME driver package ...  I have the ME10  zip of 75 meg ready.
    Do I understand this correctly ...  other than needing to know how ME gets flashed from the one bios file (which is E7821IMS.190)?
    Is there anything else I need to ask to make this update foolproof?
    TIA for the help )

    To make it foolproof follow the below, it will update bios and ME firmware. After flashing ME driver needs to be reinstalled in Windows too.
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
         A.) Download the attached archive (E7817IMS_660.rar.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
         B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
         C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
         D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
         E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
         F.) Boot to the USB 
         G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
         H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows:  http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip

  • New to the HP Pavilion Dv9000 (Dv9310ca) Help?

    Normally I use a mac but today after fixing my aunts Dell Desktop PC (Bad RAM) She gave me her old HP Pavilion Dv9000 with the HP xb3000 Notebook Expansion Base. The laptop displays no video and the hard drive makes a repetitive clicking noise.
    I removed the 120GB hard drive with Vista Home Premium 64-bit  and replaced it with a blank 320GB hard drive. As for the RAM, it had 1GB (2x512MB) which I removed and replaced with 4GB (2x2GB) but I needed to play a little game of mix and match to get it working as these only support 2GB acording to HP. After swapping around a different aray of 2GB sticks in each slot I finally got it working with two sticks in totaling at 4GB of RAM.
    Now I have it running with a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed but it's having major heat issues I believe, I'm not really comfortable with these raging fan sounds, as a Mac user I rarely ever hear the fan unless it's under extreme conditions. Should the fan in this Dv9 be running at what sounds like 75% useage all the time?!
    The laptop is also getting super hot and I've only had it on for about an hour (Installed Windows 7, Set it up, Downloaded and installed AVG free, now I'm here.) This is also the 1.6GHz model so it should be running super cool compaired to the 2GHz model with the HD-DVD player.
    I've also installed CPU-Z to check on the CPU Temp and I noticed it's only reading around 800MHz from what should be 1,600MHz no? (1.6GHz CPU)
    Another question is that why replacing the broken 120GB hard drive I noticed the second hard drive expansion which I thought was pure genius! I've never seen anything like this before and I wanna know if there is any way to put it into RAID with the first bay hard drive.. Perhaps I'll keep this beast and put in two 1TB hard drives for it, make a 2TB RAID Media Center as this also came with the media center remote that plugs in the side of the laptop too and with the xb3000 it'll look all the better beside my TV.
    Thanks for your time
    -Ben

    So this "heat problem" was in fact a problem. I ended up getting the ever favorite blank screen of death!
    After a bunch of searching, I found some great Disassembly videos of the HP DV9 on YouTube. I performed my own Mother board reflow for the Nvidia GPU, as well as the penny mod, and I upgraded to some really high end silver thermal paste with Diamond dust in it.
    The reflow process was to reseat the GPU, the "Penny Mod" is to place a copper penny in between the GPU and the Cooling pad before the heat sink to create more downward pressure on the GPU it self which will hold it on the motherboard much better, and finally the Thermal Paste upgrade is simply to reduces the chip temperature as it makes removing heat from the chip far faster and more effective.
    I also cleaned out the fan which was probably the cause of the GPU to fail.
    All together, it took me about 2 hours from gathering all the tools I'll need to turning the laptop on and admiring my work.
    I hope more people see this thread and do the same, it was extremely easy to do, it just took forever to find all the information I needed to do it.
    EDIT:
    I was also reading that HP doesn't support Windows 7 on the DV9 so that is a good probability to why I have no Wifi anymore. Windows Update probably installed some generic Wifi driver which wasn't fully compatible. The best solution I've found for this is to install the OEM Vista Home Premium 64-bit, then use my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit to upgrade it. This way it'll keep most of the Windows Vista drivers that are still supported in Windows 7.

  • K7N2 deltas mainboards have a problem with usb devices ??

    Ok here is my problem..
    I had installed WinXP Pro with SP1..
    I got a 20 GB USB2.0 disk.i connected it on the both front or rear usb ports.
    When i tried to transfer files to my usb disk or to my PC, in the middle of the copying, i got "Write Delay Failed" error and lost my usb connection..
    I had to plug it out and in again..
    Now, i have an DSL modem..Last night, i was disconnected from internet and my modem's lights gone..I plug it again, no lights..restarted my PC, also completely shutdown Windows XP..Again no lights..
    Then, formatted PC and installed windows 2000 Pr and SP4, until now, my modem worked fine..But USB 2.0 ports are still no use for my usb disk...
    In bios , it's enabled as USB 1.1+2.0..
    I think this K7N2 deltas have a problem with usb 2.0 devices and Win XP Pro..
    Some guys talking about, removing 9th wire earth, but couldn't understand which wire from where ? From mainboard or from usd device's cable ?
    Those cables are fabricated, i think it's impossible ?
    My processor is Athlon 2500+, ram Twinmos 512 DDR 400
    Thanks for reply

    I'm also having this problem. It's happening with my USB flash disk. I was almost buying another one when I tried it with Windows Vista on the same machine and it worked ok, then I tried Arch Linux (with kernel 2.6.30.5) on another machine and got the same error. After that I tried Ubuntu and it worked ok. Seems that Arch's kernel doesn't like my USB flash disk.

  • How do I create a RAID 0 on a P43-C51 mainboard and Windows 7

    I just upgraded my computer with a new MSI P43-C51 mainboard, Intel E8400 Dual Core and Windows 7.  I have two identical Western Digital 250GB SATA drives.  In my previous system, using Windows XP, I had the two drives configured in RAID 0.  I was unable to find the RAID drivers (and still haven't found them) for the RAID configuration so I erased the hard drives and started over new.  I have the system up and running and want to re-install Windows 7 but in RAID 0 format.  How do I do this?
    I have downloaded the RAID drivers: Intel_HECI_MB.zip from the MSI download site but I haven't been able to use the software to create a RAID 0 configuration.
    With my last board and XP, it was straight forward.  The old BIOS itself allowed the creation of a RAID 0 configuration and the board CD included the drivers for XP.  I am wondering if I overlooked something basic and my new board just doesn't support RAID.
    Any advice or help would be appreciated and thank you in advance!

    Thanks, that is what I suspected.  Now I have a good excuse to upgrade the hard drives to SATA II  !

  • I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard: Part II

    Hi  
    I haven't got any more replies to my post "I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard" by Krelian 2003.09.13 at 05:25. Please help! I've been struggling with this for a LONG time. And now my computer won't boot at all! Sometimes the LED's in front of the computer lights up for half a second, and nothing more happens. The only sign of life is the green light in the LAN jack. It happened after I took the ide cable for my harddrive in and out of the mainboard. This is insane, how can that suddeny happen :O ?! I was asked by wonkanoby to post max amps for my PSU, I did, and I really need to know if I maybe need a new PSU, since he asked that. Can a new PSU solve all the problems mentioned in my previous posts? Everything was fine except that I couldn't get into Windows, before i tried another harddrive on my computer. How can that complicate things so much? I have tried going barebone, and taking out the cmos battery and setting the jumpers JBAT1, J10 and J11. I have also tried every suggestion I got. Please help! I really need to get this fixed!

    Some power supplies or designed so that if there is a short or overload they shut them selfs off and some will not turn back on. Some have a relay that will click back on and work, some you have to  cycle the power switch. Those that won't come back on will have to be replaced. I'm not saying that yours is that type as I have no way of telling. But if you have a friend who will loan you a good power supply you might try it. As someone else said just turning off the power will not darn all the power from some motherboards. To test this turn off your power supply than turn on the computer with the start botton. Mine will flash the lights and fans will start to spin than die. So every time you turn off computer to work on it. After turning off PSU hit the start botton to drian any power left in it before working on it. Also do this after unplugging it just to make sure.

  • I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard.

    Please help!
    I've bought myself a new mainboard, a MSI K7N2 Delta-L. I was having trouble getting Windows XP to detect my harddrive, but then I found out that I had to to first format my harddisk. But now I've got a new problem. I first tried a different harddrive on my computer, to see if something was wrong with my harddrive. But, there wasn't, since I tried my harddrive on another computer, and it worked. So, when I put my harddrive back into my computer, I can't enter BIOS. The screen either turns white, or some colors appear, and nothing happens. If I start without trying to enter BIOS, the same thing happens after detecting IDE devices (which takes an unusally long amount of time). When the white screen is up, my CD-rom tries to start my Windows XP cd several times, but, nothing happens. How can I get my computer to start normally, so that I can reinstall Windows and live happily ever after.

  • Dv9000 turns on and off intermitte​ntly, wont start at all

    Ok, today out of nowhere, everything on the screen of my pavillion dv9000 went screwy (repeated lines diagonally across the whole thing). Nothing was responding, or at least i couldnt see it responding, so i held the power button down to force shut it down. After that, whenever i tried to turn it back on, the lights, fan, and cd drive (or something else, sorry im not sure what it would be) came back on for a couple seconds, and then everything turned back off. Nothing come on the screen, not even the backlight. It then repeated this same thing every few seconds, even if i held down the power button, so i took the battery out to make it stop. One time it started booting up again (i did nothing different), but it only got past the first loading screen and then was blank for several minutes. I took the battery out, let it sit for half an hour, and i tried again. It still did the same thing but now the time that the lights, fan, drive are on is only about half a second. I've had the laptop for about 2 years and it has worked almost perfectly until today. Please help?

    I placed this post in another thread, but it sounds like you have a damaged GPU.
    I had this problem, but I have fixed it now. Fix below.
    I have FIXED my misbehaving PC, and it is running better than ever!
    I had the common problem that the GPU had overheated and had become unsoldered from the motherboard.
    Here is how to fix it without spending hundreds of pounds/dollars!
    Equipment/skills required...
    *Small flat head electrical screwdriver
    *Small Heat gun or jet lighter
    *basic assembly knowledge of your laptop.
    *know what a GPU is.
    Firstly, strip the pc down to it's basic components, IE. screen, keyboard...
    remove the motherboard and unscrew the heatsink from the board, leavint the CPU and GPU
    exposed.
    Remove the CPU from it's mount to prevent damage to it in the next step.
    Surround  the GPU with kitchen foil, making sure not to cover it. (the foil dissipates heat and protects
    the surrounding components)
    now use a chef's style heat gun or jet lighter to heat up the GPU evenly, moving the flame in small circles, heating it up evenly. Spend about five minutes on this. (there is a covering of wax on the processor, don't worry about that...)
    Remove the foil, but DO NOT throw it away! Fold a part of it up so it is approximately the same length and width as the chip on the GPU, but a little thicker. Put this folded foil onto the GPU to hold it there firmly when you put the heatsink back on. Place the heat sink and fan assembly back on the motherboard. If you cannot feel or see a pressure over the graphics processor unit, make the foil block a little thicker. make sure the foil is not touching any of the little capacitors or solder balls on the GPU. (you want to get lots of pressure with the foil. This will stop the graphics processor from coming loose again.
    Put the entire pc back together and try it.
    It worked well for me! 
    Here's a link to the entire thread.

    are these the same driver provided with the disc driver? as i already installed both of these..

  • BIOS update killed my MS-6728 Neo-2-S mainboard, please help..

    1. I successfully booted my system and installed dual boot to Win2k Server and WinXP Pro.
    2. In XP Pro, I installed basic drivers and updated the rest through Live Update 3.
    3. After installing MSI software I began experiencing lockups whenever I would try to restart (start, shutdown, restart) in XP Pro.
    4. I decide to update the BIOS. Original version was AMI 1.1.
    5. I update through live update 3 and it creates backup file AMIBIOS.ROM on a floppy diskette, no sweat I should be able to restore right?
    6. I download the 1.5x Beta BIOS and the newer update utility ADSFI708.EXE and place them on same floppy diskette as AMIBIOS.ROM (the backup BIOS).
    7. I restart computer and boot from Win98 SE boot disk.
    8. I insert the floppy with the 1.5x BIOS update and I execute the BIOS update. The update proceeds without incident. I wait an extra 30 seconds after its finished before restarting.
    9. I restart and the system BIOS screen comes up and claims there's a misconfiguration in BIOS. I hit F1 to go into setup and it has reset all the options I normally set (boot order, wether numlock is ON or OFF, etc). I set these very simple options and ONLY these options the way I like them. I have NOT tweaked voltage, timings, or anything of the nature. All settings except for simple ones like numlock on/off are set to autodetect or base settings.
    10. I exit out of BIOS and get a black screen.
    11. I restart the computer and get a black screen again. The fans on the mobo and the colored LEDs are on, but the system isn't booting.
    12. I figure no problem I've read about this and I have the AMIBIOS.ROM backup floppy handy with the 1.1 BIOS that Live Update 3 backed up for me.
    13. I shut off the computer and remove the memory. I short the CMOS clearing jumper. I turn on the computer. BIOS/CMOS should be cleared now yes?
    14. I put just 1 stick of GEIL 512mb PC3700 RAM back in and insert the recovery disk.
    15. I start computer and spam CTRL+HOME keys. Floppy drive starts to read. After a while it beeps 4 times.
    16 I remove BIOS recovery disk, put both sticks of RAM in, and restart computer.
    17. Black screen still.
    18. I repeat steps 13-17 several (8+) times. I go so far as to a) Remove video card b) try different slots for RAM and c) remove the CMOS battery, all in an effort to clear whatever the problem is.
    It's still not working. The PS powers up. The fans spin. The dancing colored LEDs on the mainboard fan go off. But no BIOS screen. No POST. No beeps.
    Can anyone point out anything I missed or is my board dead and I need to RMA it?
    System specifications:
    Mainboard: MSI NEO-2-S (MSI 6728)
    VGA: MSI Geforce 4 TI-4200 64mb
    RAM: GeiL 2x512 PC-3700 matched pair
    Power Supply: 300 W
    CPU: P4-2.4C
    No overclocking/overtiming/overvolting - stock settings
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, maybe someone can answer this question on clearing the CMOS.
    The wording in the manual was ambiguous. It sounded to me like they didn't want you to move the jumper from open to short or vice versa while the system was powered up. One should never unplug stuff while the system is powered up..
    On the other hand, they may have meant to NEVER power the system up with the jumper shorted. Which was what I did.
    Is it safe to use this procedure?
    1. Power down system.
    2. Remove Ram, Video card, CMOS battery
    3. Short jumper
    4. Turn system on, wait 30 sec
    5. Shut system off, unshort jumper and put ram, vga, and cmos battery back in.
    Or is this what they meant:
    1. Power down system.
    2. Remove Ram, Video, CMOS battery.
    3. Short jumper, wait x seconds
    4. Unshort jumper, put back in Ram, Video, battery
    5. Turn system on
    I used the first procedure.
    I'm worried the mobo may be fried now.
