TYAN S1854 - Max Celeron CPU using 107 bios?

[MASE]

According to TYAN's website that when bios is flashed to 1.07 it can take up to a 1ghz PIII and 800mhz Celeron. I just got a 800mhz celeron and cannot get the board to post past the video card bios bios info screen.
Any suggestions or anyone with experience?
Thanks!

Try putting the celermine on a slotkit & using the slot 1 connector. Use the jumpers on the slotkit to set your voltage & bus speed.

Birddog,
Thanks for the reply!
I already tried what you suggested and it didn't work.
The voltage was set at 1.7 and i tried the bus speed on 66, 100 & default.
What are the correct settings? Let me know and I will try again.
Thanks - MASE

Per the Intel website the Cel 800 runs at 100mhz. Will try tonight and see if it works.

No luck! Tried the slotkit with settings at 100mhz & 1.7v.
Any suggestions?

The board works fine with other CPU's, correct?

Can you check the CPU in another motherboard to see if the CPU works OK?

I don't have a board that will run it. I will test at a friends house and see if it works. May be a few days. I'll update you when I know more.
Thanks and please monitor this post.

Hey, the 1854s has a jumper you have to set to switch from socket 370 to Slot 1. It won't POST if you don't have it set right. Sounds like you may have this problem. I have a Trinity and it handles up to a 1GHz PIII. The default for the socket 370 is 100 MHz. To go faster than this put your chip in a Slotket and set the jumpers to where you want them. Switch the MB jumper to support Slot 1 and try again. It's a great board, very stable and will work if you set it right.

I had a PIII in it prior, so the jumper was set correctly. Hope the CPU isn't DOA as it is new.
