Subject resumes it clearly. What I am looking for is suggestions before I dig out one of my Biostar M6TBD boards (which worked fine with same PowerLeap adapter but different 1.4GHz Tualatin 512K) for a test .
Here is some more info :
-PSU is known good Enermax EG465VE-P
-All tests are at 100Mhz FSB
-CPU is a specially requested unmodded one from the guy in Korea who normally mods them
-Same board works fine with Asus slotket running 1000EB CPU at 750MHz
- P3B-F is definitely v1.03 (mistakenly thought I had a 1.04)
- I have tried default voltage on PowerLeap and actual CPU value (1.45V) with same results
- system POSTS about 50% of time, sometimes crashing during POST
- Other cards in system are FX5900XT, 3C905B NIC, AWE64 Value and Promise ultra133 TX2
- RAM is 2 x 256MB DIMMs rated at 133Mhz
- BIOS is modded one from here Modified BIOSes for ASUS P3B-F, P3V4X, P3V133, CUBX, CUBX-E/L and P3C-E
EDIT:
My guess is that either the PowerLeap adapter has developped an issue, or that I have a bad CPU . I have some Tualerons somewhere which I will try if I can find them .
EDIT2: The reason I may test with M6TBD board first is that I know where it is , unlike the Tualerons .
EDIT3 and TLDR : The PowerLeap adapter seems to have had a fault, but seems to be working now that voltage and temperature monitoring on it has completely failed . Strange .
