um.... it was working with the Athlon 1600+ (locked). But since I have a Duron 600 unlocked, so I thought I will swap the Duron and see how high the FSB will go with the lowest multiplier.
Once I booted up with the Duron and set the multiplier to 6 and FSB to 150, then reboot... there's nothing on the screen. The debug thing shows FF and another LED is showing solid red.
I cleared the CMOS and it still doesn't work...... Everything works fine in the old setup.....
Is the mobo dead? If so, what should I do? I bought this board off another person..... How could I RMA it if it's dead?..... I mean the person isn't from local... I bought it off the Internet....

put your 1600 back in
your pencil lead connections could be at fault.
try erasing them

Did you try holding down the insert key while cycling the power? I've locked mine up while trying too high fsb, had to use the insert key and hit the power button a couple of times for it to reset itself..

The unlocking was from the manufacture.. the L1 bridges weren't cut.
I tried the disasemable, but still same thing......
~sigh.....
.. I'll put the 1600+ back in and see what happens.
