hi everyone thanks for the help i installed disk without card in,then i put memory in and it flickers the screen like its going to boot but then flickers stop and dont boot maybe the ppc is getting to hot?
and there is to memory slots 1 that sits the card at an angle and 1 that sits flat which 1 do i put it in.

and is there a bypass button on keyboard just to see if that works or any other keys i can use has it got a bios.

i will now try and slam it in place see if that works gulp

it says on the board blizzard ppc 2000 dce?
many thanks keep them ideas coming ifi exhaust them then i will sed it to france to get it fixed i hope it dont come to that though lol.

hi thanks for that but i swapped my 060 over to my 040 ppc card,all works noe no i have throen my dce board in the bin.

it was real easy job but time consuming ,so i have me 060 working lovly now ,it seems to me the boards are the same for the 040 and the 060 or why would they have the jumper settings on so you can change it all over???
