MSI 865PE Neo2 S

[mustang7173]

I have the MSI 865PE Neo2 S mainboard w/3D Phrophet DDR - DVI , Pentium 4 1.6 and 1 memory stick 512 mb/ DDR333. System ran fine this morning until I ran Live update 2 and updated BIOS to latest version. Here is the problem:

System boots up, beeps, while it is loading BIOS, I have noticed the line saying " single or dual channel" during start up. Next thing , the screen scrambles with horizantal black and white lines, then I can see the windows screen, but is is scramble. It looks like emi has gotten into the machine. I did move the DDR 333 to Channel B and it changed hoe the scramble looked. Could it be the ram? Could it be the AGP video card? Scratching head. Thanks

try putting in a stick of DDR266 (temporarily) and go into the bios and change the settings and load setup defaults. then shut down and stick in your DDR333 and go into bios and change settings to suit you. hope this helps.
