This is a continuation of my previous thread Cannot boot new mobo or cpu (forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=112475). But the situation has changed somewhat, hence the new thread.
I have a new VH6T mobo which I could not get to boot up with my new 1.3 Tually. So, I put my sig 1.1A in it and tried numerous times to see if I could get it to boot up. I thought that maybe the 1.3 was dead. After I shutdown the computer for the last time, I could smell a slight burnt smell, but I could not tell where it was coming from.
Anyway, I then did a "Hot Swap" of the BIOS chips and was able to flash the new VH6T's BIOS chip with the latest BIOS using my sig VH6T mobo. I put the BIOS chip back in the new mobo along with the 1.1A CPU. Currently, I can get the computer to boot into the BIOS, but when I set the FSB to 100 and the multiplier to 11, the computer will not boot at all after that (not even into the BIOS screens). I can then clear the CMOS and get back into the BIOS.
I tried booting the computer into DOS with a disk in the floppy drive. It will boot into DOS with the FSB set to 66, but nothing with the FSB set to 100. I then tried booting into W2K with the FSB set to 66, but it crashes with a blue screen and Windows Error message.
Do you think that the CPU is dead or otherwise damaged? I'm afraid to put the 1.3 CPU into this mobo, because I don't want to run the risk of damaging it. It is currently running fine in my sig VH6T mobo. Any ideas??
