Hello, I recently got an Octek HIPPO-15 motherboard that looks perfect, but I had a strange problem testing it.
Hardware used in the test:
CPU: AMD X5-133ADZ and Intel 80486DX2-66
MainBoard: Octek HIPPO-15 (256K L2 Cache installed)
Memory: 16MB (8MBx2 60ns)
Graphics: S3 Virge/DX 4MB
I tested with PhilsComputerLab Bench and when I was using the 486DX2-66, everything worked fine, and Doom, Quake, etc. ran many times without any problems.
But after changing to X5-133, the system often freezes, which can happen at any time, with no regularity.
It can be determined that the X5-133 and the memory are good, they work perfectly on another BEK-P407.
I tried a couple of things:
1. Disable L2 caching
2. Replace the graphics card, GD-5422, S3 Trio64V+, Millennium II
3. Replace the PSU
4. Refresh multiple versions of the BIOS
But the problem remains.
Considering the power difference between the two CPUs, I wonder if it has something to do with the capacitors around the CPU, should I replace them?
