A biostar m6tba v1,5 belonging to my school is in a system with celeron 433 in slotket, 256mb sdram. I upgraded with new HDD, PSU, and video card and now it will not boot. All fans spin up, but no video and no beeps. It will remain in this state until turned off. I have tried booting w/o HDD, optical, and with case fans disconnected (normally connected to MB). ideas?

Re: Biostar m6tba v1,5
Well, does it boot with the original components?
Maybe the board is only AGP 3.3v and you used a 1.5v AGP card?"The one who says it cannot be done should never interrupt the one who is doing it." -
Re: Biostar m6tba v1,5
I used a Diamond SpeedStar A50 AGP card, is SiS 6326 chipset. I haven't checked with the original components, the old HDD was dead.Comment

Re: Biostar m6tba v1,5
1) Slotkets come in different varieties with small (and crucial) differences in the reset signals, bus arbitration signals, etc. Make sure you have one that will work with a Mendocino Celeron.
2) The BIOS may need to be upgraded to support the microcode update for the Socket-370 Mendocino Celeron. Note that there separate microcode updates for the Slot-1 and Socket-370 Mendocino CPUs - you need both to be able to support the Mendocino in a Slotket. If you have an Award BIOS, you can add microcode updates to it using CBROM and similar utilities even if there's no official BIOS upgrade from the manufacturer with support for the Mendocino/Katmai/Coppermine.Comment

Re: Biostar m6tba v1,5
It was working before I overhauled it, so the BIOS and slotket support Mendocino Celerons. The board has no Jackcons, it has Choyo, Sanyo, and Teapo tho.Comment

Re: Biostar m6tba v1,5
I tested the card in other board (soyo SY-5ehm) and it worked.Comment

by emil_tHello guys. I have a problem with a PNY XLR8 GAMING RTX3090 graphics card. The problem is that it displays and works fine, but the fans don't spin at all. The problem occurred when someone else removed the fans in order to clean it and broke one of the fan connectors. He replaced it himself and after that, it wasn't working anymore. I guess he damaged something else in the process. What i have done so far: I found 2 capacitors next to the connector that were in a bad shape, he must have touched them with his tools - they weren't shorted, but i replaced them with similar ones from a similar card....04-12-2024, 06:54 AM

by JayPoorJayGood Afternoon, Good People.
I know this will be an elementary little project for most if not all of you, but I thought I would write a post and get put on track, rather than bumbling my way through it with all kinds of trials and errors.
I REALLY would appreciate y'alls help.
This is the problem - My wife and I purchased a big ol Victorian/Colonial House in NYC two years ago. The kitchen is surrounded on 3 sides by exterior walls, there is also a 1/4 of the kitchen floor (ceramic tiles) that has a crawl space underneath, and the kitchen gets FREEZING cold... -
by selectivetaoHello fellows,
I am putting a feeler out for a schematic (or ideally boardview) for the Biostar B660-T Silver motherboard.
I had let my guard down and decided to trust the Biostar supplied Windows based BIOS flash tool, only to find that the system would not POST upon restart.
no problem I thought - I would just flash using my trusty CH341 and be on my merry way.
Upon inspecting the board and locating its Winbond NOR, I found it in a rather precarious spot nestled between the RAM slots and PCIe slot and right next to a rather meltable-looking...-

by sda sadHope this is the right place, someone can help me.
My laptop started having a really strange problem....
When I turn it on the fans start working at a crazy rate and with random breaks...
They can work for say 10 seconds and stop for 2 seconds and then turn on again for 5 etc...
And it's from 0 to 100%. I tried to install AIDA and did the processor chip test and the graphics did not exceed 70 degrees and the fans were not even close to working at the power they work randomly.
The model of the computer:
Xiaomi Notebook Pro X 15 OLED (A30)
