make sure you updated the bios ,and check the ram retainer lug properly pushes and holds the ram downwards,check that ram pins are not severed or bent,maybe ram are incompatable to ea other with onboard ram,hex edit bios to disable 32mb ram and go for 256 mb?
thats all i can think of

No need for extra sensors. There is an ACPI thermal diode on the CPU die that can measure the temp. Just download and install Mobilemeter, the programmer has already written code for the diode so you can use it. excellent tool :wink: stocky 600x/650 maxed out @ 68c full load stess test,43c normal o...

I use mobile meter to measure temps. Im using a 600e fan and the heatsink I modified to do the cooling. Works great... temps never go above 60* C and I don't have the 192 boot error anymore and the ACPI in the BIOS handles the 600E fan as normal. Great setup! I want to push it alittle more though n...

chrisl i think (but may be wrong)sharedoc was working on the tp600e bios to get the p111 cpu detected with cache n all,maybe the flash went astray,thats why its important we offer backup to them that are willing to put their equipment at risk for the sake of helping others.i hope he gets his rig up ...

Is it a 600E or 600 PCB? excellent, the pcb is from a tp600e that was password locked, the full mainboard is the one that worked perfect till i fitted cpu with bent pins which more than likely damaged the pins or power regulator but that bios was perfect(no pas...
