Hello folks! Thank you in advance for your help.
I am running this exact 486 motherboard: https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/1041
According to the jumper settings, this motherboard supports the Pentium Overdrive 83mhz CPU.
I've recently obtained such a CPU but am experiencing some odd behavior at system boot:
- The system posts properly
- When it counts the system memory, it stops short of counting all of it, by approximately 512kb (there is 64mb total)
- I noticed that when it's counting the memory, it's slower than if it had the 486 DX2 CPU
- After counting the memory and falling slightly short, it notifies me as expected of a memory size mismatch and to press F1 to continue
- Pressing F1 to continue results in a black screen and the system doesn't move past that
I have it set to 66mhz clock speed and 33mhz FSB. There's a CPU type jumper setting and it's set for 486 DX2, which so happens to be the same for the POD CPU (according to https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/1041).
Has anyone seen this type of behavior and have anything to suggest?
Thank you!
Tony
