hello,
i'm a french overclocker and I don't find help on the french's forums for my problem.

I have a ST6-raid and a Celeron Tualatin 1,2 ghz.
I can use it at 125 FSB but only if I use 1/3 pci divider (so, too high for my HDD : 125/3 = 41,66).

If I choose pci divider 1/4 in the bios, the pc don't boot and freeze... I must clear cmos to continue !!!
I'm afraid : is the pci divider 1/4 really OK on the st6 ?

Is there any hint to use this 1/4 divider ?


THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
(sorry for my poor english)

I have a ST6R and a Cel 1.2
It works fine with the divider at 4:4:1
Earlier I had problems getting back into bios when set to 133FSB (1.6 gig...<grin>). It seems to have cleared up, and all I can ascribe it to is the bios flash to 6A. It was posted to the Abit site a few days before Christmas. You could give it a try.

My Bios is the "6A69RA1RC-63" from 25 october 2001.

Must I flash with the last one ? (Abit have made the bios "ST6E6B" from 27 november 2001, but informations said that it's for use Tualatin 1,3 ghz only, nothing else...)


And some people have said that it's the Raid who make this problem... So, I have disable Raid in the bios (and audio too, because I have a Sound Blaster) but I have the same problem...

With Raid disable, I have try FSB126 and Pci divider 1/4 = nothing, no signal on the monitor ! I must clear cmos to continue .
I don't understand why !
I have 2 friends in France who have the same problem...

Et maintenant en français

Crois-tu que je dois flasher le bios avec le dernier bios ? (celui du 27 novembre 2001)

Certainement! Mais lisez les instructions avec soin... Et retourne la machine a sa vitesse ordinaire, 1.2 gig. en ce cas.

Je n'ai pas de problemes avec 6A, et la probleme d'entrer le bios a disparu!

Try another video card....Some non NVidia video cards don't seem to cope with the out of spec AGP bus speeds at 125 mhz....Not that these cards are any worse than an equivilent NVidia based card, just that the NVidia cards seem to cope with out of spec AGP slots a little better....

What size is your PSU?

Why not you update the latest BIOS?

And, why don't you try higher FSB with 1/4 divider and see what will happen?

http://www.abit-usa.com/eng/download/bios/bios-st6-raid.htm

1)Fix the unbootable issue when installing a hard disk onto IDE 2 and set the boot sequence by following as HDD_1, HDD_0 then floppy.
2)Support Tualatin Celeron 1.3 GHz.
3)HPT BIOS version: 2.0.1024.

I think it worth to try to flash the latest BIOS. Why don't you try?

I'm running my ST6-Raid at 125 and 4:4:1 right now. I did flash the latest bios before I started playing around though. It won't hurt to flash the newest bios and who knows, it may help.
