Trying to power up a Megatouch motherboard
gio_aus:
mike tried connecting just a cdrom & keyboard and loading linux, still getting the same screen. Just a thought, but what are the chances of the IDE ports/controller on the motherboard being damaged and causing this issue?
mahkeymike:
Did some digging, and another possible cause could be bad ram. I would try removing, and reseating the ram. If you have any spare ram, try swapping it out aswell. Its worth a try atleast. I would also try to get into the bios and reset to default settings.
gio_aus:
yeah I tried that but didn't have any luck either. I also ran memtest86+ and no errors came up. I'm running a 64mb stick, would that be an issue at all?
mahkeymike:
64mb should be more then enough for maxx software, and that wary linux cd. Im pretty sure it can run on even as low as 4mb. Im thinking you should try the process of elimination. Try one stick at a time, try swapping as many as you have. One at a time. If none of them get past this issue, then I honestly dont know besides CMOS settings, or an issue with the cd drive your using. For what its worth, i have had a cdrom drive not load a force install disc. It goes back yo what i was saying about old hardware not playing nice with newer hardware.

64 is more then enough for maxx..
u still did not answer my question from last night.? or i missed the answer,
are u trying this on a hardrive or the flash/ssd drive ?
as we want the flash out of the box and a normal ide drive hooked up..
then u will go to bios
first boot cdrom
second hard drive
third disabled
and see if it will load over to the hd..
if it dose then,once done,shut down reboot go to bios
disable cdrom,so it see's the hd olny
and see if it boot's
