I currently have a factory unlocked Tbird 1200, and a MSI Turbo motherboard (rev. 3 printed on the board). I cannot get the 133bus working correctly at all with this combo. I have to go into the bios, set my multiplier to 9 @100mhz, post, than manualy power down the system, remove the 133mhz bus jumper, turn computer back on, post at 9 @133. Everything works fine BUT if I power down the system for too long after it posts at 9 @133, 75% of the time I have to redo all these steps because the system hangs at initializing cpu. I've read about these cold boot up problems and it seems I'm experiencing it. Can this problem be remedied from a bios update or is this a hardware issue? Any advice or tips would be helpful. I also dont wish to physically alter my cpu either. =/

Btw, I can run my cpu rock solid at any 100mhz bus speed up to multiplier 12.5

Read my post/thread "cold boot problems and possible solutions for ya all" I am not going to repeat this anymore since apparently noone is paying attention.

Is there any documents on how I go about doing that safely, connecting all the L7? Will this cure my problem? Excuse my ignorance but how is the core voltage going to help me reach 1200mhz by 9x133? Shouldn't it be posting without modification at that speed since its default speed is 1200 by 12x100? When it doesn't boot I thought I read that it was because the motherboard was defaulting back to the cpu's multiplier and not the voltage? Just need clerification before I go messing with my cpu. =/
