Can anybody think of a reason this CPU [1133MHz SL5GQ] won't boot into the OS? Other Tualatins with the same CPUID and stepping run on this board, even the server version (SL5LV) works without issue, so I'm at a loss to grasp why the desktop model POSTs but hangs on the handover to XP.
what board is it. is the bios updated. have u tired the cpu in another board maybe its just a defective chip.
Maybe the core voltage is off just enough, the other example you give is 1.45V whereas the one with a problem is 1.475V .. some boards might not interpret that correctly, or if you've got it strapped to 1.4 on a slotket for the others, and it works fine, maybe this one needs 1.5.
Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

You could be on to something there. All of the other Tualatins and Tualerons that do boot to OS are either 1.45v or 1.5v. This happens on two different s370 boards, btw, which I would guess makes the theory less likely, though.
I'll crack open my GX150 and give the thing a try there.

Doesn't even POST in the GX150 (yes it's the Tualatin version, mobo 2H240 - usual weapon of choice in the machine is the PIII 1400S, SL6BY, working perfectly).
[Sigh]
Well, I'd give it an alcohol scrub in case any pins have developed a coating or got slimed somehow, retry.. and personally if it wasn't better after that, I'd VID mod it to 1.5 ish and try that, if it went more flaky then, it was failing anyway, less flaky = win.
