Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Try the latest BIOS update, reset the CMOS, set the FSB to 133, restart, check BIOS again if everything looks OK, restart, pray it works... That's about everything I can come up with.
I had to underclock my previous MB too, from a 1400 to a 1250 MhZ.

No link for the update Sava, like I said, I 'think' there was one sometime ago.

Your PSU might not have enough stability or load on the 3v line to run the RAM well... can you adjust the DDR voltage in the BIOS?
I've never had any power ralated problems since I've standardized on PC Power and Cooling PSU's. They're the only American made (parts and construction, IIRC) PSU's on the market and the quality and tolerances show. They are much nicer (abeit a bit more expensive) than Enermax or Antec ones for instance.

Yes, I believe I can adjust the DDR voltage. Although the manual for my mobo says "changing the DDR voltage is not recommended for the long term. Turning it up a notch won't seriously mess something up will it? I'm considering just buying a new PSU, although I'm scared I'll still have the problem.

Could do... its a possiblity, but a bit of a long shot, in all probability. There are just a lot of possibilities for what the problem could be.
Although I've had some "fun" with them, I'm releatively unimpressed with AMD and Via chipsets, which have been more hit or miss, in my experience, than Intel ones...
I've not really regretted my move back to Intel. My last few systems have all been very painless.
An IS-7 is... like $100... and a P4 2.8c is like... $180 or so, retail. DDR ram is the same price as for AMD, and the graphics card is mostly what is going to effect your gaming performance... so... I don't see it as terribly expensive, for the average joe.
hmmm... perhaps I shall give Intel a second look in the future.
okay, MSI's troubleshooting forum says it is most likely low amperage from my ghey PSU. I'm going to check to see if my processor cooler is mounted correctly, then I'm going to get a good PSU instead of the stupid one I have now.
more to come... hopefully my next post will be:
YAY I ****ING FIXED IT! SUCK MY ASS YOU STUPID PSU!
Buying a decent PSU will be a good investment if you upgrade later... so yep, not a bad idea, or a waste.
Its your money, so do as you wish, but if it were my money I'd get a TurboCool 350 ATX from PC Power and Cooling. They don't overrate their specs and you know what you're getting. The 350ATX should run you $70 or so. I'm not a sales rep or anything, just a fan of high quality, reliable gear, after having a couple of disappointments like yourself

No such thing. How about I wish you success, instead?
apparantly I have to mod my mobo as well... I have to remove a capacitor "C37". I'll replace the PSU first before messing with anything like that.
Uh? remove a component from the mobo? That sounds like a well made product, huh?
$70 ? ****, that's more than I thought a PSU would be
oh well for faster PC... ANYTHIGN!@$@*($$@*
Its not cheap... no... but its the difference between a product made to good tolerances in the USA, and a product made to average (or poor) tolerances in Taiwan... again, all I'm giving you is my opinion.
And... it might not solve your problem... however, it will give you a head start on decent components that really will work to specification, when you decide you've had enough... if it doesn't actually work, that is.
