BXMaster overclocking celeron 566 help!

[gmlasam]

This is a very frustrating problem. My system would boot up on a cold boot
(press power button when first turning on computer), but if I
"ctrl+out+delete" or restart the computer, it wont boot up(no video). I
have to virtually hold the power button for about 4 seconds to turn off the
computer and power up again to boot up.

This happens only when I overclock my celeron 566 to 850 with voltage at
1.7, with golden orb, but if I set it back to 566, the system would function
normally. I have the MS 6905 cpu converter with all jumpers at default.
BTW what is the function of the J2 jumper on the Ms 6905 cpu converter? It
is not fully explained in the box it came with.

My specs are:

celeron 566a
thermaltake golden orb
250watt power supply
Asus v6800 geforce 32mb DDR
Soundblaster Live value
Mushkin PC133 64mb
Linksys 10/100 nic card
Quantum fireball LM 20gig ATA 66 72000 harddrive
BTC 52x CD-ROM
Teac 1.44 floppy drive

Might try to set the overclock jumper (J1 & J4) to 100mhz (virtual) and see if that will help, the bios may be reverting to the factory 66 buss speed and have a conflict at boot... also set the voltage on the adapter card to the voltage you run normaly (1.7 was the indicated) it will up the base voltage for the bios also. I set mine at 1.65 (P3 voltage) and work from there... My MSI6163pro did the same as what you are saying untill I did these things (flashed the bios also)... Good luck!!! anyhow...

THANKS BARTMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That did it!!! I guess your were right. It seems like the bios was trying to load the default 66 fbs and was conflicting during reboot. I removed the sw2 jumper from the BXMaster motherboard to make it run at 100 fbs. This also functions as a AGP divider to 2/3. I also set the MS 6905 cpu converter to virtual 100fbs and set the voltage in the converter to 170 volts.

I was trying to figure this out all day until you posted the "solution" that eluded me.

Thanks again!!!!!!!!
