FlakBaitKeymasterWell I can't edit my last post, but it appears you may be right about the BIOS ROM as well CDR. Just now I reset my computer after a game locked up and I got the same stupid black screen with no activity at startup again. I turned the surge protector poweroff and when I turned everything back on it booted up and is detecting all the RAM this time though. I'm going to go hit the MSI site and look for some sort of diagnostic tool.
FlakBaitKeymasterThanks for the advice CDR. I did indeed get the "your system configuration has changed press F1 to enter setup press F2 to load default values and continue" once I pulled the RAM out of the number 3 DIMM on the motherboard. Then I changed some of the BIOS settings and shut off the computer for a while and everything was just like it was so I bought a pair of new RAM chips since they were on sale, a little faster then what I had and everything is working fine now.
The CMOS battery was the first thing I changed, hoping it would be something cheap and easy :p
Now if you'll excuse me I need to go find out what a teacake is ::)
😀
FlakBaitKeymasterSounds like your bios rom went kablooey.
Leave the battery out and replace the motherboard whenever you can.
You may be able to replace the bios rom if you manage to find somewhere another motherboard of the same model with something else broken.
Good luck man,CDR
I had someone send me a message on another forum, I just checked and my system is only picking up 1 of the 2GB of RAM I have installed. I'm going to try swapping sockets and if that doesn't work I guess I need new RAM.
