I had been saving this old G200LE and now when I tried to install
it, it appears to be dead. It POST (memory check, IDE-check), but
when the next screen (the one with details) should come up,
it freezes the machine up (it really stops, as it does not try to
boot from floppy or HD). I can get to BIOS and change the BIOS
settings, save them but after the "press DEL to enter BIOS"-screen it freezes.
The system is Abit BH6, Cel 300MHz, 2x128MB SDRAM, 2
network cards, SB 128PCI, CD, HD. The AGP-slot should work,
as it boots with another card.
(I would have posted this to Matrox Tech support forum, but they ban Yahoo mail addresses T_T)
I also tried searching for similar symptoms, but couldn't find exact match... tried the BIOS-recovery utility, but as the machine freezes, it was no use.
