well..todays' been interesting. I finally got my GoldenOrb in and put it onto my p3 700 fcpga and hooked the slotket into the mobo [abit bf6]. and booted it up..it tried to find the IDE things and only came up with one cd-rom drive, when i have another cd-rom drive and of course my HD.
my HD was set up properly on the IDE1 cable with itself the 'master'. the two cd-rom's were on the ide2 cable and proplery set up with one as master and the other as slave. so I tried everything I could think of to get it to work no-go.
So i went and downloaded the newest bios from the abit site and attempted to flash the bios. Baaaad idea. there's a little graph that shows if it was able to update the bios, or if an error occured at any part. Well there was a certain section that didn't get updated [for whatever reason] and so I rebooted..only to see my cpu come up at a p3 466e. so immedietly I went into the softmenu and tried to change it BACK to the p3 700. but there wasn't any cpu's listed and the thing locked up on me.
And now I haven't been able to do anything. Any suggestions, hints, tricks, whatever on what I should do now would be appreciated.
And I'm wondering what would happen if I changed a jumper around to 'discharge' the cmos?
