yeah, i tried that search, but none of the other threads had the exact same problem as me. it does the 3 reboot frag with my mod chip on and off, and i don't think it works on either bank, but i will check again. i read that someone just cleaned their motherboard, and it worked, so i'll try that too.
During the install i kind of messed up. i soldered the LPC pin thing into the wrong holes, but i moved it to the right place after i realised my mistake. also, i am very confused about the D0 point. it is impossible for me to solder to that tiny point on the motherboard, so i tried to solder the D0 on the modchip to the screw hole thing. would that cause it?
-thanks
