MS6380 K7T266 Pro, CPU problem and won't reboot

I have a K7T266 Pro Ver.1.0 mobo that is apparently mismarked. It has
the raid connectors and the NEC USB 2.0 chip. That is a good problem
to have. I am currently running an Athlon 1.0ghz proc(got for free)
and 256MB PC2100 DDR with no problems, except when I hit restart, it
doesn't, just shuts down and won't initialize the mobo. The power
stays on, but the bottom LED on the mobo turns red. The CD Rom blinks
every once in a while and the network card still show activity. Is
there anything in the BIOS I should check to see why it won't reboot.
I just shut it off and restart, then all is OK. Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know what the fastest processor family this mobo
will accept? Will it accept the later 266mHz Durons and Athlon XPs?
I tried a Duron 1.3 but all the LEDs turned red and it wouldn't boot.
It could be the Duron is bad. I would think the mobo would take any
266mHz Duron or Athlon XP. I am looking to upgrade from the 1.0 to
something faster than 200mHz bus and not spend a lot. I was mainly
looking at a Duron 1.6 or Athlon XP 2000+. Not a gamer, just need a
faster machine than I do now.

If your mobo is truely mismarked, then you probably have a K7T266Pro2-RU.

D-LED 4 lit red during POST means a problem occurred during Testing RTC
(Real Time Clock).

You can download a manual from MSI.

I did own a K7T266Pro2-RU, but gave it to my sister. I originally started
with a XP 1800+ Palomino core CPU. I later modded the mobo to run a XP
2400+ 133MHz FSB Thoroughbred core CPU. Without modding, it will only
support up to XP 2100+ Palomino core CPU.
