I have a Cel 2 566, and an Asus P3V4X. My video card is an Elsa Gladiac Geforce 2 GTS 32 MB RAM, and I have 256 MB of RAM. Last night, I'd had a couple of heinekin's, and was surfing the boards, and became disappointed in my 850 Mhz OC, 1.7v, and was convinced that *everyone* was getting 952/112, I threw caution to the wind and set my PC to 112 FSB. Doh! No post.
I reseated everything, panicked by what had happened, still no post. Now for those of you that don't know, Asus put a funky way of resetting the CMOS on this board..you have to short two contact points instead of the handy dandy jumper. I was intoxicated, and showing the first signs of wisdom of the evening, decided against doing that and went to bed.
This morning, I tried it, still no post. Reseat, repeat, still no enchilada. I took my Geforce out, and took out the CMOS battery for 45 minutes. Put in the TNT2 Ultra I had hanging around, and success! I could change my FSB back to a sensible level...but still I had a problem. My Gladiac would not post while in this PC, no matter what the FSB ( and believe me, I reseated it about 20 times). Fearful that I had blazed it by running it's AGP bus, I stuck it in my Athlon PC, and it worked. THEN I took it out and put it in my Celery, lo and behold, it is now fine. I count myself lucky that my system is back to normal, alive and kicking at 850. I think I'm going to leave well enough alone, and be happy that I got 850 out of it
