memory problem

i have an old computer mainboard and it boots to DOS fine. but there's
only one problem. It always displays memory test fail.its memory slot
supports SIMM. I tried it with other SIMM but it doesn't recognize
them. I tried its original memory to other board but it is OK. now it
only display 5 KB on the screen. this problem prevents me from
installing even Win 95. it sometimes works fine w/ Dos but i prefer Win
application now.is my mainboard defective already? Please give me
suggestions on how to deal with this kind of problem. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. ps. its bios is AWARD.

go into the bios and to see where the problem is, disable all
IDE ports. If it then boots you got a problem with the IDE ports.
Try same for floppy ports
