Need help with pin-mod

[Juancal]

This is on a brand spainkin' new Hypersonic CX7 (Clevo M570A, Sager 5720) Pentium-M 745

I'm having trouble with getting my system to boot windows after a pin mod. I have tied just grounding BSEL0 with default voltages of 1.340, gradually increasing voltage (by grounding other pins, not through software) all they way to 1.596v. My system will pass the "Power on Self Test" but right before windows is suposed to start loading the sceen will just go black with a blinking cursor on the top and never begin to load the OS.

The only way I can get my system to load windows is to disable "processor power managment" (speedstep?) in the bios, but when I do that there is nothing I have been able to do to get my chip to run over 800MHz. I have tried using CHC to only allow 1.340v, with no luck.

here are some pics if I have not explained something well enough...

p.s. I did post this same message in the intel section of this forum before I saw this section. I am new here and I Apolgize for the double post. :bang head

Multi (18x133) may be too high on the 745. No matter what you set in notebook/centrino hardware control, the laptop will boot at the max multiplier. I have heard that most 745's and higher have problems booting at their highest multi (BSOD/freezing at load and/or login screen). I do not think it is un heard of, but a pinmodded centrino that boots at anything over 17x is a rare gem.

edit: I wouldn't add any more voltage either! Also, turning off speedstep overrides any software management of the multi. It locks it at the lowest multiplier.

WHICH PINS ARE YOU MODDING???

Vid 3 and vid 5 have no effect at boosting voltage because they are by default grounded at maximum voltage... remember that the vid itentification numbers start at 0 not 1... (I know it's noobish but i've made that mistake before)

I would think modding vid 0,1 and 2 which would give you 1.452v would be sufficent to oc the processor but you have probbably allready tried multiple pin combinations huh?

It is possible that you are being killed off not my your maximum post speed but the speedstep at the last momment before booting into windows may be dropping the speed a hare and the voltmod falls through the roof because the different pins are default grounded at different voltages... I really don't see this as being the case but this is the only situation that I could possibly think of that will keep your hopes up...

not many 2.4ghz oc's sucuceed and I'm rooting for ya all the way!

Also you might want to check your temps as 1.596v is ALOT of voltage and could be boosting your processor into the high 70's which is not good for stability at 2.4ghz trust me... if you got the keyboard off you could try some other temporary cooling solutions...

I made a voltmod table for sombody else last week... the mod listed mods vid 0+1... maybe it will be of some use to you...

again I hope you get this working and WATCH THOSE TEMPS...
