system board device resource error

wishmonger0 · 11-03-2003, 10:26 PM

not quite sure what the problem is or how to procede. all the components in the comp are stock except for the hard drive which appears to be working correctly now that it is properly installed. the bios seem to be properly set as well... any thoughts as to where to begin to look for this problem?

Try clearing the CMOS.

Did you install the OS with plug and play OS enabled in the BIOS?

Do you have your manual for your motherboard? If not there are usually a set of jumpers near the battery that will have CLRCMOS or CLRTC or something of that nature written next to them. With the computer off and unplugged move the jumper to the over one pin. In other words if the jumper is on 1 and 2 move it to 2 and 3 for a few seconds then move it back to it's original position.

i am unable to find a set of jumpers on the system board near the battery or with the labels u suggested. the motherboard is stock to the system and did not come with a manual. the computer is an old dell 166mhz 32 mb system.

What do you have in there for cards? Is there a modem attached to the motherboard or is it built into the motherboard?

56k pci modem...data fax modem that came with the comp.

If it has one of those little silver batteries that are about the size of a nickel take it out and leave it out overnight. Then put it back in and start it up. Make sure you unplug the machine before you do any of this.
