So I picked up an Abit ST-6 RAID motherboard because I've had pretty good experiences with Abit boards recently, and because it's one of the first Tualatin boards - I wanted that extra upgradeability. Well, I've got 512 MB of Registered PC133 ECC Cas2 SDRAM that I bought from Crucial, which I popped into the board... but when I go into the BIOS and set the DRAM clock at 133 mHz instead of the default 100 mHz, the machine doesn't boot! Instead, the PC speaker just starts beeping and nothing else happens.
Another thing... no matter how the board is configured, there's a red LED on the motherboard that comes on and stays on as long as the power supply is plugged in. The LED is labeled as D16 in a diagram in the mobo's documentation, but nowhere does the documentation actually say what it is. It's right next to the chassis intrusion detection pin, but nothing's connected to that and I doubt it has anything to do with that. I'm fairly certain it's not a heat warning because the board's current temperature shows up in the BIOS when it's turned on, and it's nowhere near overheating.
Anybody have any idea what the heck is going on here? Are all the Tualatin boards like this - do I have to use an old 815EP board to get my RAM up to 133 mHz? Help!
