Was using an Abit BH6, Abit Slotket, 64MB PC133 memory-infinion.

Ran at 66 MHz FSB OK. Bumped it up to 100 MHz FSB and the monitor would light. Nothing else. Display unreadable.

Default voltage is 1.5 volts. Bumped it up to 1.55. Then she apparently fried.

Monitor wouldn't light. Power supply began making a funny noise when the CPU was in. Put a 700 Celeron in at default settings and everything ran great.

Tried the 533A again at default 66 MHz FSB. Reset the Bios. Power supply keeps making funny noises when it's installed. Attempted again with an MSI M6905 ver 2.3 slotket. Same result. Nothing.

She's dead. (Taps plays in background)

Yep. Another one bites the dust.

I just can't believe you killed it with only a .05v bump.. I don't really think anying chip or mobo related could make your PS make funny noises, you might want to check and see if your PS isn't DOA.... Monel dosne't need it, he allready has so much junk he dosnen't know what to do with it all.. so send it to me...

Bart

ps.. what's up bro! you never e-mailed me back :)

I checked the slotket with a C700 on the same board with same memory afterward. Then ran a Slot 1 C333. Runs perfect. No noise. Runs Linux and W2K perfectly.

Additionally, I just put it back in with the same result. The power supply comes on. HDD doesn't even spin up. Power supply makes a squeaking noise. Runs for about 45 seconds and shuts off.

I think she is finished.

EDIT: Oh dude! From ahm!!!! How's life been? PM or e-mail me when you have time.

Very hard to belive, I put 1.9v to one in an effort to reach 920 mhz & it didn't hurt it at all. But I totally ruined a 566 @ 850 by grinding the heatsink, must of had a grain of sand or a sliver of alum under it and it sliced thru 4 wire traces, never booted again. Now its my $80.00 keychain!

Sorry for the e-mail from me Bart.

I thought we may have crossed paths on a newsgroup. My bad.

Thanks
