Hello, I must have a string of bad lucks with TXPRO motherboards. First I
bought a TXPRO II (M571) mobo with sound and  video  from a local
computer show.  I had to return it because I could not get the sound to
work and I was getting all kinds of hardware errors when trying to
install any software.  When I received the replacement motherboard, it
was still sealed in its anti-static bag and of course I was very careful
not to damage it with static electricity.  I hooked the mobo off the case
first to check but it will not boot up or "post". The only thing moving
is the cpu fan, so I know the mobo is getting power. I'm using a Cyrix
P200L cpu, jumpered as 2.0x75. I checked and rechecked all the jumper
settings including the correct voltage, and cpu type.  I know this is a
good working cpu because I just pulled it from one of my computers. Again
nothing happened. I checked and rechecked the (2) 16meg EDO simms to make
sure they are properly seated and on correct banks. (simms 1 and simms2)
 These are also good working rams from other computer. No luck. I then
tried at least two other sets of EDO rams   with no success. I also
unplugged the onboard video cable and tried a regular video card. Still
the mobo will not come alive. Finally I thought it had to be the CPU, so
I pulled my working Intel 200mmx from my other computer, change the mobo
jumpers to 3.0x66 and crossed my fingers. Still dead. Did I miss
anything?
Oh yes, not only did I  test the mobo  off the case but also tried it
inside  a brand new case.
          Actually that was not the end of my problem. I got the SAME
result from another brand new TXPRO (M575) motherboard. I followed all
the  steps I mentioned above on this third motherboard. What  COULD I
being doing WRONG???  It is highly unlikely that I would have problems
with ALL three motherboards.  I may also add that this is not my first
time in building computers. I had built few of them in the past with
hardly any major problems.  I had used a TXPRO before, about six months
ago,  with 83mhz bus speed and very happy with it.  Are there any jumper
settings I might have missed? Does  any of you have  problems with TXPRO
M571 and M575 motherboards?  Please I  need HELP!

          My sincerely thank  you for your time.
