P3 1ghz, Asus S370-133 slotket, any tips?

[flyerwire]

I have an P3 1ghz coppermine CPU and the Asus S370-133 Sloket and am trying to get it to work in my Abit BX6-r2. Currently when i plug it in it boots to my POST and locks. I can't press delete to get into my BIOS or anything, it just stays there. It finishes counting RAM but never gets to the "Plug And Play devices" part. I put my 600mhz slot1 back in and everything works fine. Also when it POSTs and locks it shows my CPU and a "PIII 500E"

I cleared my CMOS also, and also tried to manually set it for 1ghz (this is a Soft Menu bios)... same result

I tried manually setting the voltage and auto setting it... I also have the latest BIOS for the Abit, QR i believe... its the last one they ever made... at least i think it is... please any help would be appreciated... I am just trying to hold myself over for a lil longer before i dive into an Athlon XP machine... just don't have the money right now.

is it a 133fsb chip? your bx board wont recognize it properly if it is.

i know that its not supposed to recognize it but it should still be usable... BX boards... this one in particular... have been proven that they can use the 133mHz bus... i have the PC133 ram, even if it doesn't get all the way to 133mhz bus thats fine, i just would like to use this processor, and it should be able to run it slower than it is if at all...

I'm not familar with the Asus Slotket. I have an Abit Slotket. I check the setting and get back with you if it supports 133*7.5. However your motherboard would have to support this also. Check to see if your motherboard's bios will support a FSB133 and Clock of 7.5. Don't select the default if it's avaialble, setup custom settings. Try setting the slotket to auto.

Let me know how it goes...(i subscribed to this).

the motherboard does support 7.5X133. The Asus I have only allows for voltage changing, no settings or anything like that. So i tried the voltage on auto and also on 1.75 (which is what it should be) and neither worked still... i get to the point where it checks my ram and says to push delete to enter the BIOS, and it seems like it freezes there.

Well it should work... like you said. Because my brother is running my old p3 1ghz 133 FSB on his P2b-f. Could it be the slocket? My brother has an Asus 370-dl or whatever it was called... yours is an s370-133... do you have another slocket you could try?

Your ram is PC133? Can your video card handle 89 MHz AGP? How about setting the BIOS up for 750 MHz? Do this with the PIII 600 in, save and turn off the PC, then pur the PIII 1 G in. Be sure speed error hold is disabled.

i have 133 ram, i am gonna try to set it to 750 when i get home, and make sure that error hold is disabled, i thought it was, but when i think about it I am not totally sure, but i think it is when i reset my bios. I will try again... if this doesn't work in a few days i am just gonna end up gettin and Athlon XP system... i was just trying to buy some time...
