Hello everyone,
Quite simply, this MSI 815EPT Pro board is driving me absolutely nuts.
I can't seem to get a Pentium III to run ok in it, despite it supporting up to 1.2Ghz Tualatins. The only cpu I managed to correctly post in and to run in a 100% stable way was my 600mhz Celeron.
I tried a 866mhz Pentium III that posted but never got to Win98SE, freezing on the way to or as soon as it arrives to that point. Then I downgraded to a 650mhz Pentium III, and this one doesn't even post, ever!
I have the SW1 jumpers set to Auto, and even changed to 100mhz in order to try all chances with the latest 650mhz CPU, to no avail.
All I wanted was a board that allowed me to have a Pentium III instead of a Celeron but honestly after so much trial and error I'm just out of solutions on my end.
Some specs:
MSI815EPT Pro
2x256 Kingston 133mhz
Pentium III 866mhz / 650mhz or Celeron 600mhz
GeForce4 MX 440
Sound Blaster Live! CT4830
Am I missing something? Thank you for all your help and replies
