So the saga continues with the socket 7 build I’m trying to finish - I’ve set it up with a 100mhz Pentium while my 233MMX arrived. I tried a 200MMX i had lying around in the meantime but it showed no signs of life and didn’t get warm so I assumed a bad CPU.
The board came with a K6-II 300mhz which it wouldn’t POST with either so I assumed that was also dead
Well the 233MMX arrived, which the seller assured me was tested and working, and shows the exact same symptoms - no POST, CPU doesn’t warm up at all.
Both the 200MMX and the 233MMX are listed as being officially supported by the board - an ASUS SPAX board flashed with the latest BIOS from the identical SP97-XV.
Any ideas on this? Swap the P100 back in with the voltage jumpers set to 2.8v for the MMX CPUs and it boots right back up...
