Hi all

I received an intel Socket 7 endeavour rev 2. I was told "no signs of life". Once I plugged a Pentium 166 non-MMX, I get some post codes, the CPU gets warm then it pauses on F1 and the CPU cools down and stays lukewarm indefinitely.

I mean, even with no RAM, where the board also stops on another code and beeps, the CPU gets much warmer! My guts feeling say this is some intel quirkiness. I had an OEM MB before which was simply waiting for a "power on" signal. I see the Endeavour has a Sleep mode and also a soft ON/OFF for a compatible PSU. I fiddled with both with no luck.

Yes, it could be genuinely be stopping at something and pause code execution - but wondering if someone knows something I don't 😀
