SL2YK PII300 AT 450Mhz PROBLEMS
Hi peolple,
I can tape B21 pin on the slot 1 ctg and run this cpu at 100FSB however I
get explorer errors at that setting. If I set my CMOS to use 75Mhz FSB
(37Mhz PCI) the system runs rock solid at 338Mhz.
I have PC100 ram, 440BX Mycomp TI16NB Motherboard, Matrox G200 video and
6.5G seagate HD with ESS Maestro Sound card and E-tech RVP56 56K PCI modem.
My problem is trying to get the system stable at 100Mhz FSB. I have slowed
down all of the ram settings, disabled level 2 cache, removed all un-
essential components yet still no stable joy. Ihave also updated Kernel32
and Winsock for Win 95.
A weird thing happens if I launch IE4 or Netscape 4.07 browsers. Alot of
the text appears as little boxes or straight lines instead of text. What
would cause this? Often IE4 will crash (blue screen) explorer error.
Do you think the Motherboard could be the cause of these problems, It is
supposed to operate at 100Mhz FSB and handle up to a 500 Mhz PIII CPU.
I have tried SoftFSB and had the system stable at 83 Mhz FSB (374 Mhz)
however it froze when set to 100 FSB.Any suggestions would be most helpful.
The guy I got the CPU off had used it in his own testbench PC at work using NT 4 and it never faulted the entire time it was at 450 in his machine. We are going to try a different Mboard later this week.
