I'm too used to PIII's so what am I doing wrong? CUSL2 / C633.

This board must need something different to run a C2 in it. I must have overlooked a setting, dip switch or jumper, but don't know which. Anywone been there?
Tried 3 different cpus, no post.

Steve, Are you sure you have the dips set to "Jumper Free" ??? I have a CII 600 at 900 in my CUSL2 working fine. I bet you got the dips set for 133 (or 100) FSB.

They're all off, which is supposed to be jumper free. Can't get any of them to post in it. All my PIII work fine. ????

you're not trying to overclock it straight off are you?

 

[compuwiz1]

No....no overclocking. Won't post at default. Will try the on one of the other systems later.

I wish I could offer something to help. I had a CUSL2 with a 633@950 running for about 4 weeks. No problems and rock solid. It has the 1001a bios. But I doubt a newer bios would be causing your problem. When I swapped the C2 for a P3 I did nothing to any board settings.

I had a similar issue with an abit bf6 board once. I first put in a celery 333 and all was ok then I put in a 650 and it wouldnt post. I put back the 333 and it still wouldnt post. Turns out it was a well know bios bug and I had to send the board back. Maybe this is what is happening to you.

My CUSL2 wouldn't run my Celeron 633 either. I didn't really care because that wasn't the board I was going to use it with, but it was still aggrivating. There have been quite a few BIOS updates since then though, so it might work now.
