Powerleap 1.2g celery jumps back to 800mhz on restart on a abit BH6?

[mlahatte]

I upgraded my brothers 300A celery to the new Powerleap 1.2ghz celery on his Abit BH6 1.0. I went into CPU menu on abit bios and set it to "user settings" and set it to 12 x 100mhz. It booted at 1.18ghz just fine.. goes into winxp just fine.. but when you restart the computer it jumps back to 800mhz? What could be wrong? We flashed the abit bh6 with the latest revision.. what else could be wrong? bad cpu?

Is speed error hold disabled?

Sounds like a FSB problem. Is the Powerleap a 100MHz FSB CPU? It's trying to go down to 66MHz FSB. For some reason the motherboard doesn't think that setting is right. It's not a bad CPU. Try setting the CPU clock, and multipier though the jumpers. ( I'm assuming your configing in the BIOS ) Just thought I'd let you know that.

does the abit bh6 have jumpers? what should they be set too? Ive been doing it thru bios

I think speed error hold is off I'll double check when i go over there tomorrow

I second speed error hold!

thanks guys! the speed error hold was the prob.. but now the computer is locking.. i started a new thread on the locking issue since it is a new issue (and i couldnt find this post when i wanted to ask about it.. hehe)

Thanks again!

Please read my post in your other thread. You gotsta have a new motherboard that supports the new .13m Tualitin 1.2GHz Celeron. It won't work on a 440BX board.

incorrect as he's using a powerleap converter!

have you tried, "Force L2 to Enable" in CCP?

jeesh,

up the vcore a notch and see if yer probs go away. And, while you are at it, I believe there is a jumper to increase the vio, up that too. I don't think the BH6 had the ability to change that in the bios, been a long time since used one of those. If you continue to have problems, I have an ASUS P3B-F, works fine with that setup. And there is a setting for the AGP that should be set to 2/3, if it is 1/1, you are gonna have probs.

BTW, the BH6 is on their list of acceptable M/B's.

Since you have the latest bios, all you gotta do is get her stable and she will work just fine.

I talked to PL Tech Support awhile back . . . they suggested setting the adapter's jumpers to 100FSB. Sometimea "auto" doesn't work properly. Make sure your BIOS is set to 100FSB (user define), the multiplier will take care of itself.

I still haven't bothered to o/c mine . . . performance is good enough till I upgrade this Spring.

BTW, do you have the original PL adapter or version 2 (allows for voltage increases?)?

I'm bringing this up to the top with a big thank you to apoppin.

A friend of mine may purchase one of these for his BH-6. So now, we know what we are up against.

Thanks for all the input.
