Check the 100/133 jumper-dip switch.

Check the Epox site and see if there is a bios update.

It does not make any sense.
Works with 700 and the 1 gig works in another board. It must be cursed.

I had the same problem when I bought my 1.0G as did someone else in these forums ("DAD" if I recall correctly).

I bought one of these proccessors at the local computer show and it wouldn't boot so I returned it the next day and had the same problem, with the show then closed and not to return until the next month, I tried penciling the bridges and VIOLA!. It's worked flawlessly since, overclocked to 1.4G. I posted this strange incident at the time and did have one response with the same problem, I haven't heard of it otherwise.

By the way, they were both "AXIA-Y 266FSB" CPU's. I set them both up on a running system using an ASUS A7V133
motherboard, replacing a 1.2G T-BIRD.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck!
