AMD Athlon XP 2200+
MSI K7N2G-L
Corsair CMX512-2700C2PT (tried OCZ and Kinston as well)
WD800 (tried two of these)
Cyberdrive 40/16/48 (tried anotehr 56X CD-ROM)
Antec case w/SL300S PS (tried SL350)
It posts, but very very slow, and will not complete setup. It fails to recognise the HD after setup formats it. The drive is fine though - it works in another computer.
Check all conections, I'm sure you have. Clear CMOS. What speed are you running your memory? I had trouble with mine when running the CPU at 133(266) and the memory at 166(333). It was randomly crashing until I dropped the memory (Crucial 2700) to 266. Are you using the onboard video?

I just picked up a refurb of this board myself. Wierd, everything was fine until I changed some settings in the BIOS. Now, it won't post and I'm getting a beep codes of HIGH low HIGH low. I think that's the beep for bad CPU but I strongly doubt it just died after an eighth of a second.
I pulled the battery out, but is there another way to clear settings on these boards?

There is a jumper between the battery and IDE1. Normal operation should be the bottom 2, 1&2(closest to IDE2), and clear CMOS by shorting pins 2&3. Any further questions you can download the manual from MSI.

Thanks, I did check connections. I even just unplugged everything but Video and HD. Same thing. I have cleared the CMOS, and no change. I have timed the memory down to 133 and it isn't that. It would seem like the board, but three of them all acting the same way? I think it is me, but I am out of things to try. Does the AMD 2200+ work with this board? It recognises it just fine, so it must. The board does not require a CPU with a 333 FSB does it?
Have same problem. Running xp2100 with corsair xms 2700 dual. Post ok but load up XP to a crawl. I tried 3 different single channel ddr 2700(kingston,mushkin,and generic) and it was worthless. Have my second RMA and same problem. I just don't know if I have the right memory??? Well try 3200 corsair xms.
