P3-700 in an ECS P6BX-ME: Incomplete POST
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 5:22 am
Is there any hope for this combination? Using latest flash file from ECS, here's what I get:
PII-450 works fine. I realize that both this CPU and the P3-700 are multiplier-locked. Any help will be much appreciated, and I'll be glad to give more detailed info on request.
Only this and nothing more. No chance to get into BIOS setup or boot. I got the exact same results with a BP-modded BIOS which CBROM confirms to have a different CPUCODE.BINAward Modular BIOS v4.51PG, An Energy Star Ally
