Can anyone help me pls. I have an internet & games club and among my computers i have two motherboards MSI-6330 (K7TPRO - one with KT133 and another with KT133a chipset) and both of them WON'T start. The first one (KT133) has all the leds red nomatter what i try - resetting the bios, etc. The other one, sometimes, almost starts, but it stops responding while checking the last two (sometimes one) leds. Both of them started having problems like this: they worked fine in windows and suddenly, after a few hours of playing games on them, they just stopped responding. Nothing worked: no Ctrl+Alt+Del, no Restart button, nothing. If i shut them down by power button they give me the above simptoms. If a let them shut off for about half an hour or so, they would start again and work fine for a few hours. And then, ....
I tried changing memory, video cards, cases, processors (duron and athlon), everything, but i couldn't figure it out. Can u tell me what more can i do ?
P.S. The only thing they have in common is the latest bios 6330v36.

Any beep codes or are you getting 1 beep? Could be that the BIOS flash went wrong. Checked PSU?
-
no beeps. And the bios flashing went ok because they both worked very fine for a couple of months before they started making problems.
-
Sure the speaker in plugged in? There must be beeps! Again checked power supply? I have an Abit KT7A Raid with the Via kt133a chipset and I love it and have no problems.
