RE: [Nolug] AGP / DRI diagnostics problem solved

WELL DONE!!

I've seen this kind of problem happening a lot. Especially 2 years old MSI
mobos have a tendency of doing that. Within a past year I've sent 5 or 6 of
them back to the manufacturer for a replacement.

I Never even thought about fixing them myself. (Mostly time constrains.)

long explaination and pictures, the interested may go here for
