I have just bought a new P3 700E cB0 (retail). I seem to be hitting a wall @ 902MHz (129MHz FSB 1.75V). I can run it @ 933MHz (133MHz FSB1.75V) and EVERYTHING runs rock solid stable, EXCEPT that Unreal Tournament refuses to load. (different error every time)
I'm using an old Abit BX-6 r2 mobo with the second revision of the SlotKET!!!. My RAM is 128MB Crucial PC133 CAS2. Using PCI High-Point ATA-66 controller. Western Digital 30.7GB ATA-66 HD. Voodoo3 2000 PCI. Sound Blaster Live! Value. 3Com 3C905-TX 10/100 PCI nic. An old ISA USR 33.6K.
Has anyone else had problems with the new revision of the SlotKET!!!? I believe that it could be the problem.
I really don't think that the CPU is the problem because I can POST at 1035MHz (148MHz FSB 1.85V). However at that speed, it will start booting into windows, and then it says the registry is corrupted and it restores a "working backup" and then it will reboot do the same thing, and again, and again. It gets stuck in a loop. It never locks up though. If I try it @ 1002MHz (143MHz FSB 1.85V) it will get into windows sometimes, but it usually gets stuck in "the loop."
Does anybody have some suggestions? Can my HPT366 HD controller be a problem? Could it be that my mobo is too old? (I've loaded the latest Flash BIOS) Is it the Voodoo3? (I've heard that they have problems @ 133FSB and beyond.) Maybe it's my 3Com nic??
Please help.... Thanx. :-)
