Hello,
I have a new MSI K8N Neo with AMD64 3200+, tried it with several memory modules
(in minimal configuration: MB + RAM + KB + video + 350W power, no case) but the
system always shuts down after a few seconds. I know the 350W is a bit low, it
will run on 500W once it is replacing the MB in my current workstation but I
don't think this can cause the system to die so early and always at the same
point.
The last combination on the diagnostic LEDS I see is always 1 and 4 green which
according to the troubleshooter on
http://www.msicomputer.com/support/sup_tshoot.asp#1_2 means "BIOS Sign On".
Does this mean my BIOS is corrupted?
Is there any way to do an emergency flash?
Thanks in advance.

After clearing CMOS it now gives up at LED 4 only, "Initializing Video
Interface" Sad
Tried an old PCI videocard with same effect<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
