    What would you say about possible reason for this failure

    I tried the CMOS clearing, but it didn't boot, so I couldn't go to the other steps listed. Thanks for your posts - It's a shame my case was not such a one so these steps to be applicable. :)

    What would you say about possible reason for this failure

    The system did not even POST.(I was not even able to boot at default FSB and multiplier in order to change after that:() The MB is KT133A - it is all right (exuse me for not mentioning it).

    What would you say about possible reason for this failure

    It works absolutely fine now, but on 750MHz. The short-cut -> (just linked them:)) The question was - what could have happened so I could not make it run on 133x6 for example?
