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

Also how do enable 2/3 agp setting in BXMaster? When I removed the sw2 jumper on the bxmaster board the system would not post at all even on a cold boot. But, when I put the jumper back on sw2, the system boots up on cold boot, but does not boot up during restart, all of the led lights are red when this happens.

Is there an issue regarding overclocking BXmaster with celerons?

For any of you that have no problems overclocking celeron 566 with the BXMaster please post your slocket and mother board jumper settings.

check your bios revision.

I had the same problem with an old p2b and P3-300, or a celeron 366@550, which was rock solid normally. Required power off/on when a windows restart was done.

wierd.

eventually dump the overclock chips and never seen the problem again.

I flashed the bios with the latest revison, W6163img.530, for BXMaster. I can't figure this out! I'm not sure if its the geforce card that is causing this. I'm also not sure if the actual AGP setting is set to 2/3. The option to set the agp divider is not available with this motherboard.
