Hi,
Can you tell me what NV RAM is? Ive got an old MSI 6340v3 motherboard, when its running its self test. It says checking NV RAM- no NV RAM found. What is NV RAM. The system has 512mb of pc133 sdram.
thanks......

Abbreviation of Non-Volatile Random Access Memory, a type of memory that retains its contents when power is turned off. One type of NVRAM is SRAM that is made non-volatile by connecting it to a constant power source such as a battery. Another type of NVRAM uses EEPROM chips to save its contents when power is turned off. In this case, NVRAM is composed of a combination of SRAM and EEPROM chips.

It could be that you need to reflash your bios. Did you have a problem when trying to flash the bios at one time? That would be the only kind of ram on your motherboard that I can think of that retains its memory.
