Hi, I got this Soyo 5tb motherboard that I'm trying to use with an SX963 intell 100mhz cpu. The board dont boot after trying all the cpu/bus/multiplier configuration I could never have a POST, the screen keep on telling no signal. I have no beep code but I think it might just be the beeper that is not functional. I have put an 32mb edo stick.

The cpu get hot after a few seconds. It seem to me it get warm quicker if I put a different speed, then I promptly close the computer before it get too hot. But I never played with the voltage jumper and left it to 3.3v. What puzzle me is that the user manual keep on mention P54CX cpu and not P54C. I could not find information on the internet about it, so maybe that SX963 cpu is not compatible with that board ?

help !

Try instead of a RAM, with two possibly identical RAMs, that is, the same capacity, and let us know how it goes.

oh wow, it's working ! Thank you so much PC@LIVE !!!

I was very desperate as after posting this thread I asked chatgpt what meant P54CX as I could not find information on google and it told me it meant Cyrix CPU so I though the board would only accept Cyrix cpu, but apparently, no 😊
