some1 tell me if im loosing my mind, but i just built a pc that says it has a pentium 5 cpu in it....
im sitting here at work, this is the 6th or so pc ive built today, the first one with a p4d 2.66 (805)... msi board, sis chipset, phoenix bios.
i boot it up to mirror the drives as thats how the customer wants it, it hangs after post with a cursor right before the sata raid screen, (before it shows you what keystroke to hit to get into config)
next, cold boot, try to get into bios, it doesnt, so i reset... now it was stuck in a reset loop about 2 seconds long, and cycled about 15 times.
finnally i cold boot it again to try to get into bios, and before i do so i see that it says pentium 5, so i pause break.... this is what it reads after the bios information..
Main Processor : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 5 CPU 2.66GHz(133, 2 CPUs)
Memory Testing : 1015808K OK + 32M Shared Memory
CPU Brand Name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 5 CPU 2.66GHz
EM64T CPU
i would take a picture of the screen but none of the other techs have a camera, ill see if i can get a picture. Update: the office manager is getting her camera on her lunch break if she can find it... *crosses fingers*
its posting consistantly with this p5 post screen, cold boot, reset, unplug power, etc... im a repair tech and have gone through basic troubleshooting, but this is bizzare.... its funny, 3 of us were jsut sitting there staring at the screen, i was cracking up, no clue y....
is there something i dont know? i read a little about p5 but its only a nickname, was never released, etc... core 2 is what ended the pentium name... from wikipedia and other places... but i CANT find anything that p5 was actually produced, and i highly doubt it was... i just dont understand y its comming up with Pentium 5 branding...
has anybody ran into this? i build about 30 pcs a month and have never seen it, and repair more than that...
friek accident aye?
