Ok i am trying to upgrade to a new PIII 933.

i just bought a P3 933 EB FLIPCHIP for £300
i got a adapter to make it fit into SLOT 1. I have a 6 month old Supermicro PIIISCD motherboard. So i changed my old P2 400 Slot 1 and flitted my new P3 933 EB. When i turn on i get NOTHING. Only my drive lights flicker, i can open my cd/dvd drives by the button on the drives, but i do not even get a bios screen. Nor does my monitor ( which always turns on auto. with biOs screen on power on ) My Hard Disk goes round a few times then that`s it. FUNNY thing is that i do not even get any BIOS/MOTHERBOARD error beeps. The fan is turning on the new chip, everything seems fine, but there is no response.
IF.. i change back to the old processor, then everything is OK again, and this is how i managed to type this message. SO.. this proves that everythig inside the comp is ok. I even updated to the latest BIOS !! Yes i cleared the CMOS

The processor Adapter says PGA370 BETA on the white plastic case that surrounds the processor and on the front left of the golden/bronse board it says REV 1.1

EVEN if the processor was damaged or not inserted correct then i would surely get ERROR BEEPS. or would i if it ws just damaged ?

DO some motherboards not allow FLIPCHIP to be put into slot 1 adapters or... WHAT is going on. I am a very technically minded guy when it comes to things like this but this has got me by the balls. i cannot afford this (((

please any info icq me on 33129651

Is your bios up to the latest version and recognizing the CPU?

I'm not familair with that motherboard - does it allow 133MHZ FSB for the processor while running the memory as 100MHZ - your PC100 will wnat this to be so.

Is your Slocket an older PGA only or a newer FCPGA compatible adapter. The older versions do not support coppermine CPU's which are FC-PGA.

Check these things
 
i thank all u guys so much for everything.
it does apper indeed to be the crappy slocket gave to me by a rather shady dealer.

i am getting a coppermine compatible 1 from him 2 morrow so i hope this works ok.


will let u all know and onc again thanks
