Multiplier jumpers and BIOS update

[Remik]

My kids pc (which I am using due to mobo failure) is a AMD266K6 chipped Soyo 5EAS motherboard.<BR><BR>The question is:- just flashed the bios and it now supports chips upto 366mhz and also multipliers of 4.5, 5 & 5.5 whereas before it stopped at 266 and 4.<BR>I have the multiplier at 4x66 =264 mhz.<BR>Cant get it to boot if i move the multiplier at all,.. any suggestions?<BR>Another new addition to the jumper settings is that i can now move the cpu frequency from a max of 66mhz to 75 mhz.<BR>But once again wont boot.<BR><BR>I have 64meg of, i dont know what, RAM.<BR><BR>Realise that this is a waste of time , yada yada,, but my real pc broke and what have i to do?<BR><BR>Up shot being is that the kids like playing some games on this pc that run real slow, so if the pc was quicker, then i may be able to placate them. Hey i am using their pc after all.<BR>Smiles

does it not boot whether you move it up or down? or just down?<BR><BR>and are there any beep codes when it is trying to boot?

It seams to run ok at 166 and i think i had it at 196 but wont go over 266(well 264 actually).<BR>No beep codes, just black screen no noise at all. Must be a locked chip maybe?<BR>And i add that it is a hassle to move the jumpers, no wonder its done in the bios nowadays.<BR>I can change the ram settings in the bios from 60ns, 70ns, auto, normal, fast and turbo. All seem to work ok, but i have noticed a bit of artifacting only on the shut down screen, just before it says it is safe to turn off your pc.<BR><BR>Might just give it a miss unless you have any ideas?
