I've had my venerable BH6 for a long, long time now. Had the good 'ol cel300a mated to it and the combo have performed flawlessly for the past 2+ years. Now, I felt like it was time to upgrade but not wanting to spend much money, I got a coppermine 633 celeron PPGA, hoping to oc it to a respectable 950. Well, I didn't even get past stage 1. Upon powering up, it boots and performs initial POST but then hangs up displaying the error message:
"CPU is unworkable or has been changed"
"Press F1 to continue, Press DEL to enter setup."
I press F1 to continue and just when it is to complete loading of WIN98, it gives me a fatal exception error...all functions are unresponsive. I've also gone into the softmenuII and messed with the user defined setting but nothing seems to help there either.
Does any1 have a clue to what's happening here. I've upgraded to the lastest bios from the Abit website. I know I have the older BH6 ver 1.0x and flashed it with the correct update (I hope!%#!).
Could some1 pls help me on this one.
