Ok I have a real problem..

About a year ago I put on a 800U onto my 8rda+, and broke a resistor due to there TERRIBLE instruction and my dumbness (is that a word

). So I tired 21351245 ways to fix it and it never worked.

But anyway, I was just testing different parts and I poped in my 1600+ (Pally) and some PC2100 and it booted. [SIZE=6 ]I WAS LIKE WTF!!![/SIZE]

So I got it all workin to boot into A: drive, and decided to put my 1700+ tbred in it to overclock it and then run seti on it all night long

So I put my 1700 in, and I get FF and no other code, it just beeps like sirens. So I reset bios, pull battery and even try the Insert-Del on boot up thing, nothing worked. Put my 1600+ Pally back in and it boots up first try. I do this about 5 times and then same thing ever time.

So does anyone have ANY idea what this is doing?

A Pally works in it, but a tbred doest?

Remember, that resistor is right next to the CPU socket that I broke. It is about 1/2 the size it was and filled with CPU conductive grease (Last chance to get it working about a year ago)

I have NO idea how this is working, but it is.

I would love any opinions!

id say, just let it be. you're lucky its doing anything for you. just sleep sound knowing that its working and you no longer have to beat yourself up about breaking it.

could you have broken the cpu? crushed it? fried it?

ayoung · 01-27-04, 04:42 PM

No, CPU works, i know it does.

What boggles me, is why a Pally works and a tbred doesnt?

Bios update?

Must have to do with the voltage differences b/t the pali and the tbred (1.75 vs. 1.65)

Thats my only guess.

Is it possible to run the pali at 1.65 volts?Tell us if it workds or not.

Some of the Tbreds have a default vcore of 1.5v, so if there's a problem with the m/b recognizing or supporting the required voltage, that could explain it.
