Re: [Simply Computers] Intel D915GAV Won't Boot

 

OK. I have tried each type of drive by itself. SATA DVD, CD, IDE drive
and DVD. I have even tried going into the bios and telling it to use
legacy, IDE only, when they are the boot device. I've also tried enhanced.

I am using the motherboards video connection. The board also has PCIe
which I don't have. I did try an old PCI card that I have but it didn't
register at all.

The funny thing is I went to a computer swap meet today. I was looking
through some motherboards. I know they all tend to look alike but a
couple looked very familiar. I looked at the model and it was a D915DAG!

I dropped it so fast and got out of there!
