I just got a Acer VI15G, it seems to post but when i try to reboot it using CTRL-ALT-DEL, it just hard locks, is it fixable, i tried everything, disabling cache, removing the l2 cache, tried different SIMM modules, tried different BIOSes, no dice.

i swapped to a DX-33 and it seems to reboot when i CTRL-ALT-DEL, so i guess that DX2-66 i got is a bit faulty

If it is a standard DX2 then jumpers are same as DX, if it is a SL version DX2 they are not the same. Post a pic of the DX2 please.

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

i accidentally inserted that DX2 in wrong and fried it in a different mobo when i wanted to test to see if it exhibited the same behavior there. at least the mobo survived, so i guess it's game over for that intel DX2 66
