Sorry if all the info is lacking.
i replaced the MB in my friends dell xps.
i used the original slot 1 p3 550mhz cpu, as well as the 64mb siemens ram, graphics card, soundcard, HDD/FDD.
Problem is it won't load the OS which I assume is W98.
The previous board and PSU were fried when he tried to send 230volts thru the 110volt setting on the psu.
I am getting the warng " Windows did not start Successfully", due to recent hardware change, unexpected restart, auto shutdown.
then it highlights the options to restart, Safe Mode/ SM w/ networking/DOS commands/last known config/start manually.
tried all the options but all i get is a blank screen.
Is it because of the different hardware.
Abit BE 6
Intel Slot 1 550mhz
64 siemens ram.
WD 313600 HDD
ati graphics agp
sound blaster live 5.1
It seems the mb recognises all the hardware.
is there something I am obviously missing.
cheers

thanks to Mictlantecuhtli on the help for the manual.
