Can't get CPU normal work after flashed BIOS for mainboard on i440BX
chipset by IBM PC 300PL 6862-80U(model #) PII333Mhz, 100Mhz bus speed.
The system i've bought was working just fine till i decided to change
CPU
from PII-333 to PII-350. I did it because my second computer box
doesn't
suport 100Mhz bus speed and PII-350 runs at 233Mhz speed only and 333
CPU
runs at 66Mhz bus speed and works on my second box at 333Mhz. The CPU
PII-350 didn't react at my jumper changes on mainboard in second box,
regardless any jumpers configuration it works ONLY as 233Mhz, but in
IBM box
it runs at 350Mhz or any other speed i switched, but with problem...
IBM box configuration:
Mb: i440BX chipset, onboard sound&video
CPU: PII350Mhz(100Mhz cpu core)/PII333MHZ(66MHz cpu core)
Video: external Ati 3d PRO turbo PC2TV 8MB RAM PCI
Mem: 64 MB PC100 NO ECC
HDD: MAxtor 4.2Gb
Second Box configuration:
MB Asus P2L97(i440LX chipset), rev.1.05(i've fixed power supply on it
so
TNT's videocards could get enough power supply), 33Mhz bus speed.
PII-350Mhz (100Mhz cpu core, 2.0V power supply, 512Kb cache, manufact.
in
97year), runs at 233Mhz
SDRAM 320Mb PC66 no ECC
Asus TNT v3400 16Mb SDRAM AGP
I experience some troubles with IBM box, because after i put 350Mhz
CPU into
mainboard (it's on i440BX chipset), the POST/BIOS procedure gives me
an
error "167 can't update cpu bios information", pretty unexpectable for
such
common thing as changing the CPU which supports by i440BX chipset
specification. I downloaded manual from ibm web site and for this
error it
says "microprocessor doesn't support by current POST/BIOS" ... OK, i
flashed
the latest BIOS, no more error message but problem still the same - i
powered system, after the message about "hit F1 for entering BIOS"
disappers,
the fans on box and cpu stop working, but the system boots and
everything is
fine except fans are not working, in the BIOS there are no mistakes,
BIOS
says it sees PII-350MHZ and what's the f*ck, what do you want from
me...
Then i decided to put back CPU 333MHZ, which was working just fine,
and
guess ... the same problem as with my 350Mhz one, fans stop working,
but
system boots without any problem...
I've tried change BIOS cache options (with/without ECC, disabled),
disabled
"CPU update" under Advanced SETUP/Processor, flashed BIOS again,
nothing helped.
About "CPU Update" option, in the manual it says "enabling or
disabling
Processor Update determines whether the BIOS will apply microprocessor
updates when the comp. starts", i played with this after i flashed the
BIOS,
doesn't help...
Both CPU's are working on my asus box. I would really appreciate any
of YOUR
advise, maybe i should flash the old BIOS back and stick with 333Mhz
only???
Could I get OLD VERSION of BIOS, ibm web site has only one
version - the latest(ver.5.8a). Seems very weird that
such a problem could happend after the simplest thing - changing the
CPU.
I would REALLY APPRICIATE ANY thouths about this matter. How come that
the system
doesn't accept new CPU and even OLD cpu after bios was
flashed(flashing procedure went well and in the BIOS
i see that the version is new - 5.8a, but i didn't notice
old version number).
