I made a topic on an issue with a P3B-F some time ago. Since then I switched to a CUBX-E; it has a PIII 800EB, so I ran it at 133 MHz FSB/33Mhz PCI, which worked fine for over a month. It started with the board simply not POSTing a lot of times, being just stuck in limbo, accessing the DVD drive (this issue I even randomly had on the P3B-F). What's new is that it wrecked some of the drivers of my 98SE installation; even the BIOS was garbled, see pic. I figured it might be a capacitor issue, but they all look good visually; the PSU's about a year old.
Anyway, I did a CMOS reset and the last time it booted up fine at 100 Mhz. Hell, aren't the ASUS BX boards supposed to do 133 without problems? I don't seem to have a lot of luck with those then 😒 I still don't trust this board... Has anybody had a FSB overclock messing up things this bad? Just want to hear some opinions on this before I install a new Windows or check on the other parts of the PC...
