Alright that didn't work... I left in for about 5 minutes and nothing happened.
It doesn't make sense. I bought it about 20 or so days ago and MSI is a reliable company! Later tonight i'm gonna try it on a friends computer.
Can motherboards go bad? I'm using a gateway motherboard(yes, i know
) which is about 2 years old. I think it's one of those indeo 2 motherboards, i think... Well, it was about a week ago when the both my cd-roms(a 16x dvd, and cdrw) stopped being detected by BIOS. I flash updated the BIOS last month to the latest, so it probably isn't that. I thought that maybe the secondary IDE pins may be screwed(which is what i had them on, of course), but i was able to get the hard drive to run off of it.
It's like everything i've modified on this board is being slowly rejected! I've got another motherboard(Abit VP6) which just needs a processor. The friend that i'm gonna test it on is a VP6, so if it works i'll be happy.
