Sean, We are calling in the 101st. Since last post we haven't had much opportunity, requirements of the work-a-day world. I stitched up a BH6 box over at my fathers a couple of months ago so I know how easy it CAN be, I just don't know why this one is SO DAMN HARD! Pardon, but two out of two bad mother boards? This is a little hard to believe. So, we are left going through the basics. It seems to me as if it is choking before getting into "auto-detect", and this could be what? We will go through BIOS and ckeck/change any seemingly pertinent settings, floppy boot seek on with no floppy, is BIOS finding HD, BIOS peripheral settings, BIOS IRQ allocation, flip ALL the switches. Then we will try a third BH6, then different DIMM, then a regular PII 350, then an Engineering team from Scott AFB... And if we still don't have a working BH6, we send a pipe bomb (satire) to Abit and go into the corn field and commit Hari-Kari. mowa

Is my 300A overclocked? I have a minimal system up and running. ABIT BH6 mobo, Celeron 300A (I think), 128 MB RAM, and an AGP Matrox G100 a video card. Nothing else..no floppy, no harddrive, no CDROM. The only connections to the mobo are the large main connector , the cpu fan connector, reset, power and speaker. I can boot to bios so the mobo is not DOA..first hurdle. I went to the soft menu. The CPU was 266/66. Does this mean I have a Celeron 266? Is the CPU auto detected? I changed it to 300/66 and rebooted and it still worked. Then I went to user define and accepted the default settings which were: Turbo Disabled EXT Clock 100 MHz Multiplier 4.5 Sel 100/66# Signal High AGPCLK/CPUCLK 2/3 Speed error hold Enabled CPU power supply User defined 2.00 volts I rebooted and went into the bios again and the settings are like I left them. Is this machine overclocked? Do all Celeron 300A's overclock at this point of the installation? I guess the next step is to put in a harddrive with an OS. The floppy and CDROM have not arrived yet so I will skip those for now. Zeuspaul
