PCCHIPS Old Motherboard - BIOS, Keyboard, HDD problems !
Hi everyone,
It's not a Windows 10 thing, but maybe someone can help me !
I'm trying to revive a very old computer here. It's a 15 year old machine. I intend to install Windows 2000 on it. It's more for fun, I really don't need the machine, anyway it's very annoying not to get it working.
Problems:
1) It doesn't matter the kind of keyboard I put on it (PS2 or USB), ESC and F10 keys don't work and I can't return from any BIOS section to the main page, so I can't save my configurations.
2) It doesn't recognizes the HDD (Seagate 160GB IDE). I'm guessing it's too big for the motherboard, but I'm not sure! It recognizes the ATAPI CD-ROM correctly and boots from it.
** I installed a new battery on the board, checked the PSU and put new flat IDE cables. The HDD and CDROM jumpers are correctly configured.
Specs:
MB: PCCHIPS 580LMR
Chipset: SiS 530 / SiS 5595
CPU: K6-2 500 MHz
RAM: 384 MB PC133
VGA: Onboard AGP 8x (8MB Shared)
Does anyone can figure out what may be causing such problems?
Thanks in advance !
:)
