Hello folks! I need your help.
I am newbie at this forum and before posting this I've spent many days reading it. Haven't found the answer.
The problem I've discovered is that my "new" Pentium-III /933/256/133 Slot-1 processor, just bought from eBay, does not want to work in my "old" P3B-F. Any kind of combination in DIP-switch does not help, even if I set jumpers for CPU/DRAM to work at 66 MHz and PCI 33 MHz. "Jumperfree" mode doesn't help too. No post, nothing at all happens, except the speaker emits siren sound.
A few words about my hardware configuration:
P3B-F rev.1.03,
BIOS Award ver. 6 with the latest BIOS ver. 1008 beta 004
CPU Pentium-III 933/256/133/1.7V S1 SL4BT
Memory: 2 modules - NCP 128 MB PC133 and Hynyx 256 MB Sync 133MHz (either of the two not working with this CPU)
No AGP card but I use ATi Radeon PCI Video instead for testing.
HDD, FDD, CDROM - all disconnected for testing.
All the listed hardware components are working with CPU Pentium-II 450 Slot-1, but my son want to have his computer to be working faster. Some new games refuse to run on this slow CPU.
And the question - is that particular CPU is faulty, or it shouldn't work with my motherboard in any configuration at all? Where is my mistake?
Thank you very much in advance!
