I have been using my old MSI KM4M-V micro ATX as a media server, which combined with a old athlon xp has been working 24/7 with no trouble.

I recently put in a silicon image SATA pci card to put more hard drives in, and windows would not boot after i installed the drivers. (i put the card in then installed the drivers)

I thought that reinstalling windows would solve this, but the computer hangs soon after the 'system is checking hardware requirements' (just after the bios boots from cd)

So i have this problem, nothing boots, ubuntu, boot tools cds, windows, nothing. i have cleared the cmos many times.

I have unplugged everything non vital.

It even crashes when i try a bios update!!

Any info would be greatly appreciated, i dont want this mobo to die!!

Thanks in advance,

Charlie
