Need Help Abit Bh 6 & Celeron 900= Problems !

[WeekendWarrior]

I cant seem to get this system stable..I want it for my kids to use.
I had the old celeron 300 a at 450 in here for 2 years or so.
anyway I got a celeron 900 at xmas and it worked ok for a bit but...WHenever I play games etc...weird things happen and lockups.
I know it is the cpu or mobo .
I have tried different video cards even etc...
It has a regular cheap slotket on it. Does that matter?
I took the stock thermal tape off the heatsink and put thermal pase...etc.
I have tried this cpu at 900 and now at 9 x 66 mhz= 600
not much luck still...
The mobo is the abit bh6 with the ss bios.
should I try another bios or reflash ?
any ideas? what can I do to get it working?

Could be the slotket, has to be coppermine compatible, what kind is it?

 

[WeekendWarrior]

not sure what kind it is.
I put the old celeron 300 a back in at 450 no problems except games run choppy.
as soon as I put the celeron 900 in at 900 sound and video is screwed up bad.
games load but the sound is screeching and weird artifacts in the video.
then they crash.
I tried the 900 cpu @ 66 fsb =600 works better but still locks up after a while.
should I increase the voltage?
it is at default 1.75 right now
the 300a is at 2.1 volts and has been steady in this mobo for 3 years I think?
I need some help here! any ideas?

sounds like a bad slotket to me

you need a slot 1->fcpga

you probably have a slot 1->ppga

im surprised it even worked at all, take pics of the slotket and we'll tell you what it is

Thanks but it is FC-PGA I still have the wrapper from it.
it says its a 370 ppga/fc-pga card coppermine supported.
But I know its not high quality ....well it didnt cost much anyway.
thanks again
