MSI K7 Pro BIOS needed.

[dajogejr]

Just got a free PC from a guy at work...It's an AMD 600 Slot CPU (not sure what AMD calls 'em) and an MSI K7 Pro mobo.

I can't seem to find a BIOS update for it...

It looks to be about 3 or 4 years old, judging by my google results...

Any help, guys??

Did you try to Google for MSI?

Tried it...no go.
Was able to get AIDA32 on there...and it's a K7Pro MS6195.

Looks like the BIOS on there is about as new as any out...

Good little PC...we'll see if I can keep it going...

Thanks...SM

I think the mobo is toasted.

HD is fine, passed ...
RAM is fine, passed...
CPU seems to be working just fine...

Reloaded 98 from scratch...
It'll run for a little bit...but just freezes.

I took the CPU off, tonz of dust, etc. The previous owner thought it was overheating....

According to AIDA32, CPU never got about 30C...or so. My basement is chilly...so, my own Barton/Asus system rarely gets above 35 or 37C....and it's OC'd.

So...I'm going to part it out...

Oh well...was worth a shot for free!!
