Is there any diagnostic software?

I am looking for some diagnostic software for motherboards, specifically the PcChips M817LMR board. Does this even exist?
Also is there any diagnostic software for the Athlon T-Bird 1.4 266 FSB?

Thanks for your help

what exactly do you want to check ? .. pccheck is an old but good little diagnostic software, you can find it at bootdisk.com i think, bootdisk.com also has some more diagonostic software, i dont think you are going to find any software made specifically to tech that pcchips board, i dont think pcchips even cares enough to make that .. well good luck ..

I will try bootdisk.com... this is a weird problem that I have never seen, my motherboard wont run above 100/200 Mhz FSB and even though I have a 1.4 Ghz T-Bird 266 FSB chip the screen that shows the POST says it is a 1050 Mhz processor, memtest86 also shows it being a 1050 Mhz processor, in the BIOS setup utility it shows the CPU speed being ", and when I upgraded the BIOS firmware to the very latest it shows a speed of characters I cant produce with my keyboard. I can boot into XP but I have to let it go through the motions of booting normally and the video goes blank, it will then restart by itself and then give me the option to go back to the last known working configuration, then it will work, anything that is graphic intensive i.e. windows Media Player with the visual plugins will make my computer reboot. Memtest ran 16 passes when i slept last night and showed 0 errors. I have 4 AGP video cards 1 32MB GeForce MX200 (original card), 1 32MB Savage, 1 16MB ATI All-In-Wonder, and a 8MB Intel 740, only the 8MB card will work decently now.

I tried the GeForce in a spare computer I have and it didnt work properly in it, but then again I think something is wrong with the computer anyhow and havent had it runnin.

I know it isnt a software / driver problem cause i tried loading XP on a freshly formated drive and the graphics were sooo bad you couldnt read the the setup GUI.

Thanks in advance for your help
