I unplugged power connections in my PC and just tied up a couple of wires. When I plugged everything back in the BIOS reads my XP 1800+ as 1150mhz. Then no harddrive or CD devices show up. Everything reads "none." After that it says "CMOS Checksum error. Defaults loaded."
I had another good hdd in the house so I plugged it into the IDE cable and that one isn't recognized either. Sometimes I reverse cables and plug them in incorrectly, but I tried all variations so that's not it.
As an aside, all the interior lights (cathodes etc) work, as does the rheobus and all fans.
Break it to me slowly. Did I short or otherwise destroy my mobo? (It's a KR7A-no raid). Also, if the hdd isn't recognized would the CD devices necessarily follow suit? Save a life, respond at your earliest!
Did I kill my mobo? (suicide watch - mine)

These are the instructions that came with my Thermalright SLK-800 cooler:
Assembly:
The assembly gestalltet itself just as simply as with the standard Slk-800. after the foil of the base plate was removed and the processor core with thermal compound moistened, leaves one the 6-Punkt-Halteklammer in the base noses to engage. Subsequently, the radiator box is aligned centrically on the base. By means of slotted bolt turners finally the catch side of the fixing clip down pressed to these on the base engages. A strammer contact pressure develops, whereby a good waermeaufnahme is ensured. Although the additionally existing PU Schaumpads provides for a safe seat on the processor, the PC should very carefully be transported and/or the radiators before transport be developed.

addendum
I tried setting defaults in cmos and now I still get same processor speed and no disk recognition, but now, instead of "cmos checksum" I get "disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter."

try unpluging the hd cable fro mthe HD and mboard and repluging it back in. and make sure the IDE stuff is turned on i nthe bios and set to the right boot order.

I've got a Gigabyte GA-7DXR+ and when I first got it and my XP1800, I forgot to set the bus speed dip switch to 133 instead of 100, and is showed my CPU as 1150 MHz.
Don't know if that'll be any help to you but it's maybe something you should look at just in case.
Good luck!

I took the easy road first and flashed bios by moving jumper over and then replacing it. Then I manually set cmos to return to last config. Surprise, it worked! I amazed myself. But this leaves me with a lesser problem. Only 1 CD drive is recognized When I first boot the bios now recognized the hdd, both both IDE devices say "none." When windows comes up there is a D drive but no E. The regular CD player (D) functions. The CDRW lights up but door won't open. I've checked to see if cable is connected properly and have tried reversing positions on the IDE. Nothing helps

CD's can be funny. Some controllers don't like to see 2 CDs on the same IDE port, while some don't mind.
I've also found that some newer controllers prefer you to use the "CS" jumper setting on CDs instead of manually selecting slave or master.
Another gotcha to look out for is that if one CD is sharing a port with the HDD, then see if there's a seperate jumper config for the HDD that's for "Master with slave". All Western Digital drives and some Maxtor and Seagate drives are like this - they have two different jumper settings for "single master" and "master with slave". If you have it set for "single master" then BIOS won't recognize any device connected as a slave on the same port.

Thanks much. I used a little deductive reasoning and tried a 2nd CDRW I had at home. It worked fine. A call to TDK tech support determined their unit was bad. I'm returning it for a replacement.
Leading me to another question. I was using a 56 speed CD drive as master and a 32X40X10 CDRW as slave. The TDK tech told me that the CD ROM actually reads at 1/2 speed, which is 26X and the CDRW reads at a true 40X and should therefore be the master drive. Does this make any sense?

Interesting. I could have sworn I read somewhere that the faster drive should be master or else it will be brought down to the speed of the slower drive. Maybe it's senility?Originally posted by FlyingPenguin
There's no possible reason I can see for making one a master or a slave - performance will be the same.
What about if you made a 7200 RPM hdd slave to a CD ROM? What effect would that have (playing devil's advocate)
