BE6-II with PIII 1GHz NO GO
I recently purchased a PIII 1GHz slot1 100mhz bus CPU for my Abit BE6-II board. I flashed the bios before installing the new chip to be sure it would post right. After installing the new CPU, the system will no longer post.
I recently purchased a PIII 1GHz slot1 100mhz bus CPU for my Abit BE6-II board. I flashed the bios before installing the new chip to be sure it would post right. After installing the new CPU, the system will no longer post. It just turns the front lights on and sits there. I can place the old PIII 450 and everything is fine. But the 1GHz will not Post. Abit's website with the new bios says it will work. What could cause the issue? I have removed and swapped all I/O cards and RAM. Please help! Thanks,

Hi!
What kind of slotket do you use?
You have to get one with these jumper that makes it compatible with Coppermine cpus (reset and vid pins as far as I remember).
I owned a BX6-2 long ago. I believe it is very similar to yours.
PIII worked fine with it (with the proper slotket).
Best slotkets are 1/ Asus 2/Abit
Ah, yes, clear cmos before booting the new cpu!
Ooops I see it is a slot1 cpu. Must be tired x)
Clear cmos anyway. Voltage may be a prob too.

Bios issue?
This is the link to bios revisions history:

It seems some bios revision solved a similar issue.

Is the new 1GHz processor based on a .18 micron or .13? If it's a .13 you will likely have problems..
