I have a P166 MMX build that has been solid, and decided I'd drop in a K6-2 300/66 over the weekend. Since my board is the TX97-E 1.21v I got the jumper settings from here -> http://www.lairdslair.com/TX97E.shtml
The system posted ok and recognized the K6-2 300 properly, but... after it counts the ram and detects the IDE drives, the screen goes black for a second then reboots. It'll just loop like that continuously.
I haven't had time to trouble-shoot yet, I'm thinking maybe the voltage is wrong and too low, but I followed those above settings correctly. Any idea's before I roll up my sleeves tonight? Since the system bus is still 66mhz, I'm thinking it can't be the PCI ATI card, or the nic. I'm using EDO ram although I have no idea what speed since it's unmarked, but it looks a lot newer then old type EDO. I'm leaning towards voltage, but any suggestions or idea's would help, thanks in advance for any replies.
