Ive got my mates pc here, having some trouble with it.

Consists of...

Barton 2500 (333 fsb)

MSI KT4V mobo (based on via kt 400)

2 x 512 crucial DDR333

Geforce Ti4200

Basically it was cutting out whenever he tries to copy a dvd. gaming and everythings fine, just that.

Now it bsods as windows is loading, however i cleared cmos and i cant do anything as it wont boot til i reenter the bios values, but i cant do that as it wont accept my keyboard (through usb or that other one)

Its not the psu, ive tried mine, and ive tried my ram too.

So does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Yeah it works fine. Im thinking to mobos borked.

Plus after the cmos clear on the post screen it shows the cpu as 1.1ghz?

I cant find a bios for this exact board, would a similar board do?

Have you tried plugging the keyboard in a PS/2 port and pressing the F (Function) Lock?

Sorry but what do you mean?

MSI do a utility that finds it all for you... can remember the name of it but it lets you flash your BIOS in Windows.... really cool
